[1967ers]

Hi all,

I picked up this radio some time ago and just recently realized that the model number is odd. The Canadian Philco 70 would normally be designated as a 70-A and be a 25-40 cycle set. This one is tagged as a 370 and is 40-60 cycle. I do not think that this radio inherited a tube shield from the 370 chairside as the tag is Toronto-made and this would be a 370-A. The strange thing with the model number is that the 3 is a rather different font than the 70.

Was this another variation of the 70 or is there another explanation for the number? I didn't question it at the time because seeing a '3' in front of the model number is common here, but this is a good two years too early.
