Great job also on the top of that 15DX!

Bob, don't be intimidated by that 15 chassis. Believe me, that 15 is nothing compared to your 41-316. Icon_crazy

Yeah, watching all your hard work on your 41-616 has pushed my 41-316 back in the restoration queue. I'll pull the 15 chassis out soon and do a little reconnoitering. As I recall, it's pristine.

And you found a 37-690! Well done!!!

The model 15 is the last radio Philco made utilizing the "old" chassis. It is not complicated and fairly well laid out. However, it is a shallow chassis, and does not accept "modifications" well. SO... re-stuffing is probably the best way to restore this set.

You have some swell radios to restore!

Color me Icon_mrgreen green..... with envy !!

Thanks. I had an amazing run of luck over the last few weeks. First I scored a Philco 41-316, then a Tandem Predicta TV, then, very unexpectedly, a 37-690!

I've been sitting on the 690 for a few weeks, but I think it's time to let the cat out of the bag.
