Got the 37-116.
#1

Got the 37-116 we were talking about earlier in a different thread.

It will require lots of work.

I never saw a chassis that heavy. I took it out of the car and barely was able to carry it home to the second floor. It is probably good 45-50 pounds.
Chassis is mostly dirty, some rust, nothing egregious.
Cabinet has scratches.
The dial has a broken piece. (I have it).
Cabinet's chassis support inside has some damage.

In short, I have my work cut out for me.

But first I want to finish the 38-15 and my Zenith.
The 37-116 is a warm time of the year project - will require working outside.
I may make it my first ever cabinet restoration attempt.

Will need a lot of help with it. I have zero to negative experience doing that. But....I feel emboldened. Icon_lol
