I had another deal to buy four radios from another fellow - two Tropics and two UK-made Philcos.
The 39-770 is freakin' huge! 23-3/8" x 12-3/8" x 18-1/8" LWH.

The 39-770 chassis is about the same size as a typical American Philco 1939-42 console with thumbwheel controls.

Although Tropic sets were built primarily for export, this one appears to have been sold in New York and remained in the area until now - notice the sticker on the back of the chassis, which is for a radio repair shop in the Bronx and dated 1942.
