Philco 37-116 code 121 radio acquisition
#4

Hi everyone, getting ready to restore the chassis--hardest part is going to be getting the rust off of it. I cleaned up the IF transformer cans as I am unable to get the cans off the IF expander unit as the nuts are rusted on them. I took apart the tuner vernier drive and cleaned/lubricated it. I got multicolor wire ordered from Radio Daze and rubber tuner grommets ordered from Renovated Radios. I do have a fully restored spare 37-116 code 122 chassis that I saved for my restored 37-116 console that I thought about using but I'm going to try to restore this chassis though-- I was tempted to use it if this chassis was unrestorable. Any suggestions on how to make the chassis look nicer? I tried to clean up the chassis but nothing works on polishing it up.   Ken

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
