Nice 620. Looks refinished, newer cloth and then a bit neglected after that.

Yes it was refinished for sure.  I will eventually work that over again once I get a chance to open it up.  New power cord on it as well so I’m not sure how much work someone already has done under the chassis.

What a great set of radios! I really like the 620, and as for the 47-204, I also have that same one in my collection .

The Philco 620 i have always was a good performer, though it may need an overhaul by now. They have a TRF amplifier stage, and are more conventional in construction then a 37-620, the only thing I can say against them is that the chassis is tightly packed compared to something like an RCA 128. The Philco 47-204 would also be somewhat cramped, with loctals, but at least has modernish plastic insulated wire unlike an early 40s AC/DC.
