I feel that the bubble tops were Philco going to back their roots. Back in the golden age of radio Philco as one of their more successful long lived marketing gimicks used to make sets with really bold eye catching Art Deco cabinets. However by the 50's their cabinet styling had become, comparatively, very plain and boring. It is my opinion that they were trying to return to their Pre-TV marketing tactics when they designed the bubble top.
