It was now just a matter of assembling everything. I fitted the speaker to the baffle-board and the chassis into the case, completing the set with the reproduction back cover.
Note: an original B-537 has a mottled black/brown bakelite case, whereas the set here is all black. In addition, the control far-left was just a rotary on/off switch on the B-537, whereas the C-537 chassis has a combined on/off and tone control instead.
There are Philco 444 sets out there with a third hole too, so I didn't have much reservations about doing a modification which Philco had apparently also done themselves.
Philco produced several versions of the bakelite people's set, and judging by the variations seen, seemingly used whichever sort of case they had available at the time. Many 444's have a three-holed case with the extra hole blanked off by a plug.
I had no intentions to deceive with this set, rather it was a just a way of making good use of a separate chassis and a bakelite case that uncombined would probably otherwise have just gathered further dust.
