Philco 37-116X What's The Price Point?
#41

Yes, I pulled the whole RF sub chassis on the last one I did. The only hard part about that one was the open coil in the most forward section. There was no osc on band 2. After fixing that all was well.

We went on a radio trip and came back with about 12. I have started an American Bosch 205, just because it looked easy and in good shape, $32 at antique store. And I was going to work on a Sparton 930, not so easy but interesting. We also got a 37-620 table top in good shape. that would be a good warm-up for the big one - or I might just do it first.

The 37-116 was at an antique store way out in the bushes of Eastern OR. it was marked $69, I would have bought it then, but there was a nice table top silvertone 1939 with an eye tube marked $80, too much.
So I offered $100, $50 each, he said OK and threw in some thick 78s with the Brunswick label for my Panatrope.

Like I said, VERY happy with that.

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
