How about any Philco Tropic in a console cabinet, as far as I know nobody has seen one, at least one of a 40-780X. In general the attrition rate is much lower on high priced sets, so you will see more 37 and 38-116s then some cheaper models that they made more of. But then again Philcos tend to hold up better over time then many other brands regardless of price or rarity.

Arran
