it is a good radio.Not too common. Not supervaluable but still is valuable.
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.

Thanks. So far, they seem to think $300 is what they ought to get for it. I think that's toooo much and wished them well on their sale. I would be more interested in it at half the price.... Is it a more expensive radio than the 37-116?

I just purchased my 37-116 in just as nice of shape for $200. I didn't want to pay that much but it was close by, absolutely complete(has the original operating manual), and my wife said it was okay

I agree and will wait it out a bit. I like the looks of the 37-116 too. Are these rubber coated wire radios? That always adds to the price of the chassis resto.

It has the motorized dial.
Never seen one with a motorize dial! Dial is manual will presets. It's a good set but the 37-116 is a better one. You'll have to wait two more years for sets with rubber wire '39. But you are lucky (not) it does have a RF sub chassis just like the 37-116. Terry

If you ever get over to Philly I can hook you up with a '375.

Philly is a bit of a drive from California. Haven't been there since '82... I thought this was a nice looking radio, but at $300 in not working condition, they'll own it for some time to come.....Not sure what a '375 is?

The 37-675 is a pretty good set and uncommon compared to many other high tube count Philcos.

I like that radio, but the owners are stuck on their $300 price so far, so for now it's a bit of a waiting game. Terry mentioned a '375 and I don't know what model that is, unless he meant the 37-675. I'm all the way on the other side of the country too, so shipping would be ugly....

I have a 37-675. It has very good audio. I gave $80.00 for mine. It's weak point is the RF coils. I had to repair one antenna coil and the osc coil in mine and that was a very difficult job. But it receives very good and has a lot of bass. Also the caps in the RF are very hard to get to. It is very much like the 37-116 but does no have the variable selective IF bandwidth. It has cloth covering wireing. All in it is a good sounding radio.

The guy said he had another person interested that would pay his asking price if I didn't buy it but I was the first to call, so he gave me the first shot at it. Tell him to sell to the other guy, then tell him to have a nice day. Chances are there is no other interested party. Not at that price, anyway. The 37-675 is not as common as the 37-116. The 37-116 is the superior performer of the two since it has variable IF bandwidth for high fidelity reception...something the 37-675 lacks.

No, just kidding...I don't really have room for one...Tom, I have no doubt you would give that set a very good home. ![]() -- Ron Ramirez Ferdinand IN
