I just can't believe any manufacturer would have used a Hallicrafter chassis mounted sideways, it just looks wrong, plus the lack of decals and angle brackets holding the chassis in place just confirms the point.

If the first set's a home brew then it was done a long time ago.

I could't agree more w/your comments.

My friends Philharmonic is not like this set from Radiolaguy, but exactly like the console here in question. It does have that Tele-Tone TV panel, but it's centered of course. The radio is vertically mounted on the right.
BTW, it will be difficult to get a picture of my friends set, but I'll see what I can do.

maybe its a custom job , i'e seen a couple custom made sets , mostly made with rca chassis but this could be an exception , just a guess

I believe this is the Television to which Joe is referring. The cabinet certainly appears to be very close, if not identical, but they certainly aren't the same set.
