My signal generator crapped out on me before I could get farther with the alignment. It has been flakey above 2 MC for a while, and it finally just crapped out. Serves me right for buying cheap. I bought a better one and it arrived much faster than I expected so I continued with the final alignment. I found, as I expected, that everything was already in almost the perfect position, and only the slightest tweaking was needed to bring things up to their peak performance. Also, the frequencies were aligned well across the dial. I hoped for this, since I had not had to do anything to the mica caps or coils or other frequency critical components, and the radio itself seemed to be relatively unmolested, and was not disappointed. So now I have to be patient until Spring, since my house is too cold to do the cabinet work. Hmmmm.... Maybe I'll find a safe corner to stash the chassis, etc. from the 37-61, and get to work on the next 48-482.... or maybe the 37-665 I have my eye on, if I can buy it cheap enough to justify the high shipping cost... I am SUCH an addict ! I am quite fond of 37 Philcos though, one of my first Philcos was a 37 console, a 620 I believe, which I gave to a buddy's family when I went in the Navy.
