Yes...as a matter of fact...my 37-675 was a "gift" too, accompanied with a Zenith 6D311. This was given to me by my wife's nephew and his wife. My recent gifts were from another of my wife's nephews. He is the brother of the other gift giver!
Here's a list - of what I just received:
Hallicrafters S-120...needs paint, chassis cleaned up well, works and deserves re-cap.
Hallicrafters S-200....chassis cleaned up well, works and deserves re-cap.
Allied A-2515-A (solid state)...chassis cleaned up well, works and will not recap. Band spread does need new dial string. This radio has the cool factor...I really like it. I'm listening to Detroit Tigers baseball right now! 8)
Hammarlund HQ-105...chassis didn't clean up well. It's rusty. Cabinet is bad too as is the face plate. I'll repaint cabinet and clean face plate as best I can. Filter cap will be replaced, eventually. On a good note, it works OK, but not as it should. I don't anticipate any show stoppers, though.
Lastly, a MaCo linear, and I've not been able to identify the model. It has 5 x 6LB6's (1 driving 4). This will clean up fine, but I have not "fired" it up. I'll see what I can do with it - on 10m.
Great Kids!
