Hi Guys,
What that cabinet is, is an 18X, a 1933-34 model, the 18MX is a 1935 model. The 16 chassis has 11 tubes and the 18 has 8 tubes. With PHILCO it’s not a matter of nailing down a model, because what ever they had left over they used. Even if it was a matter of using the top of one and the lower of another, and it was the same with the chassis. PHILCO was a VERY good company, what they had they used, and if they had a problem, they tried to repair it right away, that’s why you had so many bulletins. They were NOT like GM and Ford.
