Well guy's, I brought another one home.
As if I have room. Couldn't resist.
Got a really nice virgin 37-675 from a person that was moving and did not have room.
THing has not been plugged in for years.
Cabinet was professionally re-finished years ago. Lots of different veneers in this one.
Must have been the last of the legged models.
Has 12 tubes.
Brought it home and checked the chassis out for obvious problems, and plugged it in to my variac.
After a few minutes of cranking the variac up, I got audio and faint signal.
Very promising.
Only problem I see right away is that the tuning condensor is not turning with the control knob.
Looks like there is a loose or disengaged gear on the front of the shaft.
Anyone have a good diagram of how the tuning mechanism is supposed to work on this model?
I think I will re-cap,check resistors and tubes and see what happens.
Not a bad find for $25.00.
Input or suggestions?
