Odd 1940 Detrola model 327

[decojoe67]

I came across this one recently in a local antiques mall for a decent price and decided to grab it. As often with Detrola and many other smaller companies, this was obviously a lower cost set. The chassis and dial fit correctly, but it was used in a generic cabinet that had pre-drilled holes for another pushbutton chassis. Oddly, the situation was remedied by plugging these holes with stainless caps. I don't recall ever seeing that before. Looking up the model 327 shows a bakelite set with a narrow dial. It likely is the same chassis, but they expanded the dial plate side to side to fit the large dial lens. It's an oddball for sure. Not a bad set though. 7-tubes and 2-bands. It's had an amateur refinish, but displays fine.
If anyone recognizes this cabinet, which has remnants of the Ingraham label, please let me know.
