Yes, that's right. Over on the other forum, one of the east coasters turned up a Philco 630 CSX last month.
When I expressed my extreme envy and desire for such a thang, we got to talking about a trade, and worked it out.
So now I have my very own Philco chairside. Whoo-Hoo! Pretty excited about this. Yes, it's pretty rough, but it's a diamond in the rough. What a great little radio. Stoutly built. Knobs on the way... they didn't make it in the first box.
One thing it's gonna need, though, is a new dial glass. It's peeling and doesn't look that great. What other radios used this dial glass? Was it unique to the 630s and 635s, or were there other radios that used it to, like the 640s and 645s?
Pictures!
