A lot of the early Philco chairside sets (around 1933/34)used a large separate spkr in a large wooden cabinet. Ones that come to mind the 14LZX,19LZX, 91RX, 14,16, 17, &18RX. Have had a few or them over the yrs.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
