Replacing Rubber Wire
#15

Nice job, Steve. Might I add that collecting mostly 1930-1938 radios (me) means that I have fewer cases such as this where it is tight spaces with a lot going on. UNFORTUNATELY the rf deck of the Philco 37-___ and 38-___ radios will add pure joy in a really BAD way. I have a 37-670 tombstone that drives me nuts when I listen to it (loses volume/shadowmeter blacks out) and I have put off working on it because I KNOW it will eventually lead me to the d**d rf deck.

The first Airline that I have really "messed" with is a 62-196 tombstone that I am currently finishing. On this model,anyway, I found the overall layout including what at first appeared to be a complicated dial system, to be well laid out and "repairable." I did NOT care for the "dual" volume pot configuration, but did especially like the way they laid out the chassis underside. BZ !!!

It recieves well and sounds great for a 7 tube radio with a relatively cheap 6" speaker.
