Hi All,

Got this nice Philco chassis that  I would like to positively identify.  From my findings I would think it to be from a model 114 or 506.  The output tube that came with the chassis is a type 41 (wrong?).  The dial scale is part # 27-5065.  Just want to verify for proper ID for storage tagging.  I've never seen a model 506, rare?  Nice piece of furniture!

Thanks in advance
