An Interesting Philco Model
#5

49Stude63 Wrote:I think it is a Fraken-Philco because normally all consoles or tables would have a back piece to support the side, in the case of a table I would expect some type of bottom but at least a rear lower brace. It looks like they chopped 41-624 but I am impressed with the quality of the work.

I don't think so, if you look at the rear shot you can see that the loop antenna was made in just the right size to fit. Plus the workmanship of the cabinet is just too top knotch for some home brewer to have overlooked adding a horizontal brace or a bottom by accident, it does have blocks in the front inside corners to stiffen it anyhow. If you look at some US made GE consoles they have no horizontal brace either, and the chassis shelf is at least two feet off the floor.
