That David Grimes Pfhilco fellow hasn't ever been a popular guy at my shop either. He created a hornets nest with the mid RF deck that wasn't even necessary at all. A oldtimer radio tech that worked in a few repair shops back in the 1940s - 60s told me they used to refer customers with these type philco 37-6xx chassis electronics repairs to their competitors radio repair shop across town just to pi** them off! The shops he worked in back in those days made more money by servicing other brands that were lots more tech friendly to service in much less time, and they turned out more work and made more money in the long run by passing on these particular models. He worked at several authorized Philco service shops. So therefore, David Grimes didn't do the Philco dealers/ techs any favors at all with his designs. He designed a chassis that the dealers that didn't care to service either! The Philco cabinets of that era sure are attractive though.
