37-116 chassis question
#1

Have any of yous guys tried Simon's clever chassis stand on one of these? 
So far it's worked flawlessly on all the Philco chassis I've fitted it to. I did have a bit of time with the 200/201 style. It has a large power transformer at the very front so it wants play jew-jitsu and flip the whole thing over. Could be remedy by mounting the stand to a piece of plywood to offset the awkwardness. The early sets like the 76,77,87,95,96,... are easy enough just turn over. Pretty flat on the top and hardly anything to break.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

Terry, you having any luck with the 37-116 on the stand? I'm always willing to improve or make new parts to make it work....

Haven't dug out a 37-116 chassis yet to give it a try. On the other hand my youngest son came over a few days ago and carried up a Griefkit DX-100. So I maybe about to try the stoutness of the chassis stand.
For the non hams the DX-100 is a mid '50s 100w AM-CW transmitter that weighs in at a bit over 100 pounds. https://www.eham.net/reviews/view-produc...er-page=10

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
