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

Circa 1966
