Thanks Paul & Mike(Morzh) I have restored other Philcos in the past but this was the most challenging. I took my time and took lots of pictures and printed out the service bulletin which was a big help. I did find a little bit ago the proper 3/8" high rubber receiver chassis support grommets so that should take care of the height issue. All I need to do is to fabricate a bottom cover for the receiver chassis. Soon I'll be starting on my 37-116 cabinet which needs to be stripped and refinished (not looking forward to that).   Ken
