Philco 37-690 Restoration
#25

Good morning, finally done with the power unit restoration and reinstalled the receiver chassis back into the cabinet, replaced the fuses with the correct ones and powered up the radio and it is working great on all bands and has plenty of volume. Only issue is the chassis grommets that support the receiver aren't tall enough so I'll have to order taller ones from Renovated Radios later today. I'll be replacing the speaker wire harnesses at a later date as they are dried out and starting to crack through the insulation--the power cables from the receiver are in excellent shape. I have pictures posted below of the 37-690 in operation. I saw that Ron has started to restore a 38-690 so I'll be watching the restoration with interest.    Ken
