Unknown 1936 Philco Console
#4

Philco Furniture History identifies the set as a 650WRX.

The cabinet was first built for Philco by Smith Cabinet Co., beginning July 23, 1935 so it was at the beginning of the 1936 selling season.

The number of cabinets made is not given. There is no documentation of the 650WRX electronics.

To the OP (dfields69) - Can you confirm whether or not it has a 650 (4-band) or 655 (3-band) chassis inside? What about the additional electronics with the three extra controls below the 650/655 chassis? This is something quite rare and previously undocumented.
