I am headed to look at this one today. I did not see a similar cabinet in the gallery. The ID label is not quite clear enough to read. Partial shot of the chassis gives me the idea that it might be a 11 tube model 16 chassis. Any ideas?

Oh, that one again. I thought it sold a few months ago.

I believe it was identified but that the bottom was custom made.

Philco Model 17 chassis in a custom (third party) cabinet.

Thanks Ron

I went ahead and paid the seller a visit. Decided to take it home.

That must have been a popular cabinet maker/company because a local radio club member has a philco 71 in that same cabinet.

I have to admit, that cabinet does have a neat look to it.

Now that it's home with some clean up here are some better shots

How tall is it?

Looks like a different solution to 'No stoop no squat no squint'... Put it up higher in the air!

The cabinet does have a distinctive 30's feel, kinda cool.

Nice find ! I wish you would post some pics of the chassis, but perhaps you are saving those for the "electronic restoration" section. I really look forward to following your progress with this radio. Good luck !

Roy, I love that cabinet! Those legs are not likely to come off. Just a unique and pleasing style. Much more interesting than most radios from that era.
