Welcome to the Phorum!!
Icon_wave

37-690 is one of Philco's best. I have not worked on a 37-690 but just like the smaller radios, recap it one cap at a time to keep chances of miswiring it down and keep us posted with questions here. A number of the pholks here have restored this model.
Cheers,
Bob
