Another Philco rookie joins the Phorum
#5

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Actually Ron, I've heard of the Heart of Ohio antique mall(s), but I found my 37-620 CS at a local antique mall called The Brass Armidillo. If you can believe it the vendor was using the radio as a display table covered with a wool blanket. The only part showing was the grill cloth on one end. The tag said $120.00, but I couldn't buy it that day, so one week later I returned expecting it to be gone of course, but luckily it was still there and now only $90.00 !! Was that a decent price? I have 2 quick questions. 1. Is the proper grill cloth pattern for my 41-285 console shown on the grill cloth HQ website, the old one is so faded, I can't tell it's original color. 2. Did Philco use the same trim ring on other models from model year 1937, it looks to me like they did. If so that opens more options for finding a parts radio. Thanks again, BOBC

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