Neither had I. I'd seen Philco grandfather clock/.radios before but nothing like this. I thought it was a "frankenset" at first so had to ask around.

I sure wouldn't mind a little help with the cabinet restoration. Turns out it doesn't have any wicker on top though. That's a different model. The older and less common the set , the harder it is to find accurate info.
This one just has cloth and I have a small of what I hope is original material.
I finally got it up two flights of stairs and took some more photos.
I don't see any evidence of there being glass.
Any thoughts on cleaning the clock face? I think it may be nickel plating ?
Nice wooden knobs. I'm missing one, but have a lead on a replacement already
Here's the speaker in more detail and my little fragment of cloth.
It sure needs a re-coning!
Should there be horizontal bracing at these two points? Seem like somethings missing.
Veneer damage. The separation isn't so bad - I can glue it back down. The missing bits are another story. Any guesses on the wood? I figure it's either mahogany or walnut.
