Found: Philco 37-690!
#1

Good evening, everyone.  This is my first post, so I want to thank the administrators for admitting me to this wonderful group of Philco enthusiasts!  I just want to say that I am extremely excited because I finally found one of my "bucket list" radios after about 15 years of searching: a Philco 37-690.  from what I can tell it was listed for over a week before I found it because it was listed only as "radio antique", with a single image of the front of the console with the doors open.  That's what caught my attention.  I picked it up on Monday and am quite pleased with its condition.  For being over 80 years old, she is sure holding her own.  Cabinet scratches on the outer surfaces, but the front behind the doors is in very good condition.  All decals and knobs are present, and the electronics are complete, clean, and unmolested.  Great bones to work with. Now for the eye candy, in images to follow:
