37-650PX for a newbie
#1

Hi everyone, i am new to restoration and this forum and recently came into acquiring a 37-650PX which is the 37-650 with a 78rpm turntable on the top. Power cord is horrible and will need to be replaced but have not taken anything apart yet, kind of apprehensive about taking it apart until i learn more of about dissassembly of this unit. Do not want to break anything. i would love to learn to restore but also worried i might destroy it. If anyone has recommendations on ease or restorers who can help in the future let me know.

This was a Xmas gift from my wife since i have always wanted a Philco and she found one from a guy for 50 bucks in very good cabinet shape. look forward to learning on here and hopefully getting the electronics restored.

from what i am told this turns on but the powercord is so bad i don't feel safe plugging it in.
