Now that I have one, I need to post a little trivia about my unit and and oddity I discovered after purchase.
The oddity is first: If you look at the chassis on my 37-116X Deluxe, there are two controls coming out the side with the rosette style Philco knobs on them. (Right side when viewed from the back of the radio.) The prints I have found show a single, screwdriver adjustable, double pot control, but not these:

Now for the bit of trivia. At least five tubes have Sylvania Stickers on them, (Two are RCA tubes, oops!) with a purchase date of March 3, 1947 and the name and address of where they came from:
Alex Radio Laboratory
1701 West 25th St
Cleveland 13, Ohio
Phone: MAin 8358
It does appear that this radio was worked on at that time as I can see some cardboard caps that look to be from that era when looking through the bottom vents of the bottom chassis plate.
