While it is sheer luck to find the cabinet it was not coincidence that the holes line up with the shafts. The mounting holes in the shelf line up with the holes in the chassis flange as well.
It's a Philco cabinet that was gutless, except for a model G speaker, which according to its label was made for Philco by the Philadelphia Storage Battery Company. The chassis is a Philco model 87.
Yes it has always been that rusty, and I suspect it is because it was stored in a barn, and that the original cabinet was probably ruined by the environment. I may take steps to change the chassis appearance some. I also may want to work on the dial drive a bit. Right now the radio is in a rather cluttered room in a place where I can't get to it easily without moving a lot of other stuff. The pics I took last summer before putting the unit into storage.
Come better weather I'll pull it out into the light and get a full shot of it for yas.
