Philco 37-116X Oddity
#1

Now that I have one, I need to post a little trivia about my unit and and oddity I discovered after purchase.
The oddity is first: If you look at the chassis on my 37-116X Deluxe, there are two controls coming out the side with the rosette style Philco knobs on them. (Right side when viewed from the back of the radio.) The prints I have found show a single, screwdriver adjustable, double pot control, but not these:

   

Now for the bit of trivia. At least five tubes have Sylvania Stickers on them, (Two are RCA tubes, oops!) with a purchase date of March 3, 1947 and the name and address of where they came from:

Alex Radio Laboratory
1701 West 25th St
Cleveland 13, Ohio
Phone: MAin 8358

It does appear that this radio was worked on at that time as I can see some cardboard caps that look to be from that era when looking through the bottom vents of the bottom chassis plate.

No matter where you go, there you are.
