A couple weeks ago I picked up my first antique radio at a garage sale here in Sterling.  He had a couple floor models and several table tops.  I picked up a floor model as the cabinet just spoke to me as a woodworker.  I had no idea there were so many collectors and websites for these!

Pictures follow after the narrative...

After I got it home, I found a tag inside the cabinet stating it was a 37-650.  I found Service Bulletin 254.  I pulled the speaker and chassis out in preparation of refinishing the cabinet. 3 band dial, AM, and 2 shortwave with shadow meter.

Then I found this forum and library, etc., and found that the 37-650 picture did not match my cabinet.  My cabinet matches the 37-665X.

Further investigation shows the 37-650 is an 8 tube chassis.  The 37-665 is a 9 tube chassis.

Look at my pics, and I have a 7 tube chassis!

So, I think I have a 37-665X cabinet with some other chassis...or an optional chassis?  

Maybe it is a Phrankenstein Philco?
