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

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.
