I just picked this up at a local club auction. Yes, the chassis is a bit rough but I think I can make this work again. Just want to be sure this is not a Frankenradio, the eschetchen looks to be 1938 but the label clearly is 1937. The photo finish looks to be in good shape and this model does not look like it ever had the “Philco” decal at the top. Anything specific about this model to look out for in the chassis?

Thanks
