new to me 37-9 console
#1

I have just aquired a Philco 37-9 and I am wodering if there is something odd about this thing? I have not seen much on the net about it, including this forum, although I did see it mentioned in the "changes" download.

It appears to be a 9 tube model, and the cabinet is pretty basic, although there is some nice contrasting inlay.

It would certainly be nice if I could get my hands on a schematic so that I can recap this thing and get it playing. I have not plugged it in yet. and I will go through the chassis before I do. New caps, resistors, check the transformer etc... then ramp it up with a variac.

The only modification that I can notice on it so far is an adapter for the rectifier tube on the transformer.

I am not a master woodworker, although I do know my way around, I also know my limits, and I need to figure out how to do a bit of sprucing up on the cabinet, as the top is pretty rough and there is a little bit of cracking on some of the inlay veneer.

Any assistance in pointing to reference materials would be appreciated.

Thanks for the great forum.
73,
Kurt
