Hello...I'm Greg...and some of you already know that. I've been tinkering with old radios for about 7 yrs but have been a "user" since the late 60's. I'm finishing up a Crosley Super 11 now, and a Zenith 6D311 is next. After that, my "Big Dog", a 37-675! 8)

I've done nothing to it so far, other than pull the chassis and clean the tubes. Yes, it's barn fresh. The finish on the cabinet, a real piece of furniture, may be savable, if not, it will be hired out. It deserves better than my refinishing abilities!

Anyway, thanks to forums like this, I know where to begin, but I still have a couple of questions. After the power supply and tuning mechanism, where would you go, the "main" chassis or RF chassis? Also, why didn't Philco put a speaker plug on this? Icon_evil This radio is quality throughout, yet they omit a plug?

Thanks for your help!

Greg
