will keep looking for that cap replacement trick. Just happend to notice the alignment page. Right under the knobs there are 4 trimmer caps. 1 big and 3 smaller ones just like underchassis picture. In the middle of the chassis theres supposed to be 3 small ones(only has one large screw trimmer), and twards the rear supposed to be 3 more(only has one small screw trimmer cap. The center, and rear only have 1 trimmer cap. how many different versions of this 37-630 are there?
Beginning to wonder if this is a 37-630 chassis at all since its missing trimmer caps. It does have the same tubes and layout of the 37-630. The console cabinet itself has the 37-630 sticker in it. Wish I could post a picture on here but haven't figured out how yet.
Have now replaced the 2 under tuning gang caps. Removing the tuning gang wasnt that hard, reinstalling it was ....insert colorful metaphore here. Replaced 2 weak 6k7 tubes with nos and replaced the 6q7 as well.

I started collecting radios when I was a kid.......never kept any of them. Always messed them up(didnt know what I was doing) Sucessfully bought my first radio and got it working in 1995in california, and carried it home on a 3 day train ride. It was a philco 38 code 123 battery operated farm set.
