Philco 650 same as a 660?
#1

I am looking for a 37-650 chassis & speaker and someone has offered a restored 37-660 instead.

Does anyone know if the holes are the same.

Thanks,
 Kirk

One is 8-tube and 3-band, the other is 9-tube and 4-band.
They used the same cabinet for the tabletops. so the holes should be the same.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

The 37-660 chassis will fit inside a 37-650 cabinet,

BUT...

You would need a different escutcheon with a larger opening.

The 37-650 is a three-band set while the 37-660 is a four band set. Larger dial scale, needing an escutcheon with a larger opening for the dial.
