Look What Followed Me Home Today! - Crist Rigotti - 05-09-2015

I'm a proud owner of a 37-630 Code 121 console! Pretty nice shape. The cabinet needs a little work. None other than the Fred Taylor looked it over and pointed out several places that need some help.

BTW, Fred is a genuine nice guy. I saw his work and his work in process today. Amazing talent, that's for sure.

This one will have to wait till the 60B gets done, then the 116-122 Standard Version gets done. I'm posting the 60B now and will do a series on the 116 too.

This is so cool. I got it at a good price too! I don't think that grill cloth is the right stuff. Fred was pretty sure somebody pulled a cushion off the sofa and used that for the grill! LOL!

Nice radio. Had 37-640 (look similar) - very nice performer. And pleasing to the eye when restored properly.

RE: Look What Followed Me Home Today! - Crist Rigotti - 05-09-2015

It will get restored properly. And with Fred only a phone call away I'll get expert advice on the cabinet!

Nice find hope it turns out to be a keeper!

 I believe that the front end is the same as a 37-640, same band coverage, RF deck, and IF deck, but the power output stage is single ended rather then push pull.
