- Notes
- The Philco model 66 series models use a 5-tube 2-band chassis covering the BC band and SW (5.5 - 16 MHz). There were four individual models in the series with different cabinet styles.
The early version (1934) of the 66B table radio was a rectangular tombstone with a single vertical bar through the center of the speaker opening and two downward facing arcs at the bottom of the speaker opening surrounding the tuning dial. The late version (1934-35) of the 66B was a cathedral with rounded top and a webbed oval speaker opening.
Model 66S (1935) was another rectangular tombstone having a lyre-shaped speaker opening with four vertical bars through its center.
Model 66L (1935) was a lowboy with an inverted "Y" bar through the center of its speaker opening and other embellishment.
