my newly cleaned up 37-650
#11

OK, now, I've been going nutzycuckoo over the bezel sizes for just the 37-650. Some of you know that I have all three versions of the 37-650, and I've been saying all along that the bezel sizes are the same on all of the 37-650 jobs. Ron has some different dimensions on his 37-650B, so I finally went downstairs to the three sets, and measured the bezel diameters. Here's wot I came up with:

37-650X: 5 1/4" OD; 4 1/8" ID.

37-650XP: 5 1/4" OD; 4 1/8" ID.

37-650B: 51/4" OD 4 1/8" ID.

I also measured the diameters on a couple of other similar sets.

38-2670B: 5 1/4" OD 4 1/8" ID.

37-630 (640?) MX: 5" OD 4 1/8" ID. (which you can see by just looking)

So now, Ron and I have different signals on the sizes of the bezels on our 37-650B sets. When I first got the set, the bezel was grungy, so I put a new one on it. Had the new one been the wrong size, it never would have fit the set. Now, my 37-650B is the rounded top cabinet design, which looks like the 37-660 shown in another post here. Was that the only version of the 37-650B?

Ron, what does yours look like?

I just wonder if they actually had several different dial bezel sizes for early models, than realized the folly of their ways, and standardized the bezel size?????

Now, it looks like we will have to look at serial numbers, and see if there's a big difference between mine and Ron's.

I didn't measure the ones on the 37-630 or the 38 small sets, 'cause they are glaringly different.

Anythoo, Ronaldo (and everybody else), whaddya make of all this? Looks to me like there were three bezel sizes for those sets.
