What it really gets down to is what it's worth to you. A 37-116 in good working condition will be one of the best sounding and recieving sets you have. I paid two hundred for mine and drove two hours to pick it and two other radios (41-220 and a 38-5) up.

The 37-116 was in nice shape with knobs, but missing one (?) acoustic clarifier.

I had missed other 37/38-116s in the past. It was worth it to me.

If it's worth it to you, then go and get it.
