Agree with Bob. The more I look at it, that sort of cabinet with a drop-down "desk" arrangement at the controls was passé by the end of the twenties/early thirties, which is when the chassis would have been made. Tube lineup could be checked against dates of tube type introduction to further date the chassis. That trio of tubes with top caps look like 24's or 24A's, introduced in 1929/1930 repectively. I have a feeling somebody put a newer chassis in a nice older cabinet originally made for a battery set. The wood/finish of the control panel would be another clue: does it match the construction of the rest of the cabinet?

I love a mystery!
