Can you Identify this chassis?
#1

Ok, first time to try to post a picture. This is a Philco 37 or 38, 6xx. The problem is that I can't find an alignment diagram for it. It most resembles from a schematic standpoint a 39-620 but the riders shows a totally different arrangement of the trimmers under the chassis. Hence my challenge, how to align that aspect. It's off on the low end and seems to really need a little touch up. Take a look at the trimmers and let me know where I can find some data to help my adjust this baby. Please?

It's probably a 37-620, Code 125. This model (and the 37-630, codes 125 and 126) has fewer trimmers, as shown in your photo.

I suggest you contact Chuck Schwark and purchase the proper service information for that particular model.

Oh, and there is no such thing as a 39-620 Icon_wink

Sorry Ron, I miss typed as I tend to do. I really wanted to say a 38-620.

OK, a little more information on the chassis, it has a number stamped on the inside of the chassis which reads "38-1655". Does that provide any additional information on the correct model number so I can order documentation from Chuck?

Thanks for any guidance. Jerry

Jerry,

That is the Philco PART number of the metal chassis or sub-chassis it's stamped on.

See the Philco Parts Numbering System info on my site:

Thanks Chuck but I am still clueless as to what to order from you that will give me the proper looking sub-chassis with trimmers as indicated in the picture. Not rocket science, just the proper documentation. Can you help?

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM
