My new 37-116
#1

Hey everyone!
Even though I keep telling myself that I'm not going to look for any more radios, I keep on doing it Icon_crazy !!!
I picked this 37-116x up today. It started off as a 60 mile trip to buy a working Model 20 that I saw on Craigslist. I like the early Philco's best and have been wanting to get a 20 for awhile. When I called the seller about it, he mentioned that he also had a 37-116 he was selling. At first I didn't think too much about it, but a 60 mile drive can get a guy to thinking Icon_rolleyes So, by the I got there the 20 had some stiff competition Icon_lol ! Long story short, the 37-116 came home with me, with the possibility of the 20 some other time! I know that Model 20's are fairly common whereas this set is NOT.
It's a very nice set in good original condition and is now the largest set I have at 15 tubes. It will keep my 15 and 200x company. The only thing is that 20 would have been a lot easier to find a place in the house for it!!!!! Fortunately, not being married saves my neck, although I am still kicking myself for being so weak Icon_wtf !!
