Philco or not Philco ?
#18

And I sincerely apologize to you, Claude, for my harsh/terse answer previously.

I've studied Philco since 1990 - 27 years now.

Now let us discuss your two pictures just above. Except for the escutcheon and knobs, the radio on the right is identical to my UK Philco 261. This may or may not help you, but my 261's chassis looks like a USA model 60 with two exceptions: one, the addition of a shadowmeter; and two, the three gang tuning condenser instead of the two-gang tuning condenser used in the USA 60. The 261 (and the USA 60) use five tubes (valves).

While the set on the left above looks very much like a 261, I would have to assume that it probably has a different model number since it has the gramophone (phonograph) on top. I do not know at this time what the proper model number should be. If it is your set or if it belongs to someone you know, can you check and see if there is a tag or label inside with the proper model number (it may state CHASSIS TYPE instead of MODEL)?
