I ran across this 1936 Philco in really rough condition at the flea market, and decided at first not to get it at any price, then changed my mind. The cabinet is falling apart, and the guy said if he didn't sell it today for a few dollars it was going in the trash when he got home. I made a mistake in the video I meant to say the damaged to the top does go all the way through it has a large hole in it. I thought the tubes and the speaker were worth 3.00, and as an antique should be salvaged from the dump. If the radio can be restored to play the cabinet might be worth trying to salvage. It might be possible to glue and reinforce it inside with braces, and apply a new sheet of veneer to the outside. The front was a photo finish, common on some 1930's radios, and is ruined. It needs replaced, and if not a new painted on photo finsih similar to the original, possibly some veneer could be applied to the front as well. It is in very rough condition, but it still is an antique and I thought it should be salvaged, and not thrown in the dump, anyway Sadie liked it and she got 3.00 worth of entertainment out of it.
