Hi George and welcome to the phourm!
Just to be clear on your set it isn't a model 70 as it didn't come out till 1931. It's probably a model 87 or 95 but would have to see the back of the set to tell which one it is. I don't know if you know it or not but the legs on your cabinet have been removed. It should stand a bit taller. Here's a pic of it: http://www.philcoradio.com/gallery/1929c.htm#d
I have a model 87 and the 95 both are good set for 1929 technology!
