need help identifying chassis model #
#3

Thanks Ron!! That must be the proper schematic diagram since no other place to mount the orig shadowmeter except the escutcheon area!! What looks different on my JF Riders print, is the "absence" of the orig Philco bakelite condenser on the AC linecord (as compared to Philco model 37-2620 JF Riders schematic. This chassis has that Philco bakelite condenser mounted towards rear of chassis,just as Philco model 37-2620 has, & the JF Riders doesnt show it on the model 37-630X you suggested. Also, I am comparing this set to JF Riders model 37-630 in orig volume#7. No mention of model 37-630 "X" model in the orig JF Riders index pages. Perhaps, it is just a different cabinet-style? Would you suggest I just follow the JF Riders Philco model 37-630 schematic, and just add restoration to the Philco AC line cord bakelite cap also? I have the "Philco Condensers & More" book here in the shop. That bakelight cap looks orig to the set also!!! I looked closely at the Riders model 37-630 schemat before I posted here. That 1 bakelite cap is throwing me off, and it is original inside the chassis!! I also need orig spkr field coil resistance data,( should be on Riders schemat?),probably not! Also,which orig cab with proper escutcheon data to search for, to properly restore this Philco back to orig if I can find all the parts? In the past, I have had to purchase separately old "factory service manuals" that cover all the data I am seeking. That may be the case with this receiver, although I will get it working eventually by "subbing" a temporary spkr trans & field coil temp 10 watt wirewound resistor to get a good match just to get the set operational again.The spkr in this radio has 4-wires instead of 3 on many Philco sets. I will research them further to incorporate a spkr field coil and test the set with a PM spkr. Thanks again Ron for sending me in the proper direction!! Anymore data you could provide, or further help in restoring this Philco family-heirloom, would be much appreciated!! The Philco Phorum ROCKS!!! Sincerely, Randal

Give the tuner a good wash in Dawn and hot water. Then set tuner in a plastic container and cover with vinegar let soak ...David — 12:53 PM

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM

You would probably be replacing the OPT.RodB — 10:54 AM

I have been playing the radio for a while now and doing well. Turned it on today and all I got was a whole lot of noise....dconant — 09:39 AM

Thanks guys. I think I'll give the Naval Jelly a try since I can better control where it goes.dconant — 09:23 AM

Just forget this number, it is useless anyway. Simply proceed with your project.morzh — 10:08 PM
Philco Model 80 Transformer resistance
My $0.02 is that it is a misprint. I tried to look up the value for the similar 84 and 37-84, and ther is no resistance...MrFixr55 — 09:51 PM

Thanks for the quick reply! Hmm...well that's good, so what am I seeing that's 1042 ohms on the schematic for the pow...Mike L — 08:46 PM

The DC resistance of the primary is 8 to 9 Ohm.morzh — 07:54 PM
