The Philco 620 i have always was a good performer, though it may need an overhaul by now. They have a TRF amplifier stage, and are more conventional in construction then a 37-620, the only thing I can say against them is that the chassis is tightly packed compared to something like an RCA 128. The Philco 47-204 would also be somewhat cramped, with loctals, but at least has modernish plastic insulated wire unlike an early 40s AC/DC.
