That big cabinet/small chassis was very popular in farm sets, I have numerous examples from Philco, Silvertone, Airline, etc. Keeping the batteries inside, for one thing, made the set easier to transport from room to room. Its kind of ashame, though, you get this big, beautiful cabinet that looks like it could hold a 12 tube chassis with electric tuning & an eye, and all you get is a 4 tube battery chassis!
Heat isn't so much a factor with these radios, the low voltage filaments mean low temperature.
