No rubber-covered wiring in the 37-650, but beware the "unit construction" used in most 1937 Philco models as well as many 1938 Philco sets. In other words, these models have an RF unit floated in the center of the chassis, resting on three rubber pieces. There will be some capacitors hidden deep within the band switch wafers of that 37-650. These are not easy to work on.
Properly restored, however, the 37-650 is a very good performer.
You can get proper reproduction rubber mounts for the 37-650 and other Philcos using the unit construction from Renovated Radios.
