I bought a Philco 37-650 today..
#30

Thanks! It plays great. It has become my daily driver. I do need to get back inside it and fix the volume control. The rod that connects the knob to the volume control comes loose about once a week. I fish around until it catches, but it needs to be repaired correctly. The veneer wasn't nearly as bad as it looked. Once I stripped the cabinet, I could see that the cracks were very minor. They were paper thin, and the very extreme outside layer of veneer.. The underlying veneer was solid. I had to glue two small areas, about the size of a dime. Then I sanded it very lightly and the cracks vanished. I used a little timbermate on the two areas I glued, then sprayed it all with toner.

I can take some better photos of it, if you guys are interested in seeing it..
