Pulled out my 37-650 tonight
#16

Well, I got looking again on the finish on this radio
and I believe it's been painted!

I can chip off small flakes on the edges of where
the bare spots are.

At least the chassis seems to be in pretty good shape.

The only thing that will give me some headaches
is one of the broadcast band coils is all messed up
by someone in the past poking around in there
and tearing through the windings.

Will have to be re-wound. I hope someone
here knows about how many turns should
go on.

When I get the coil out I can give more details
on which coil it is etc...

Shouldn't be a big deal if I can find out the
number of turns to put back on.

Worked more on it tonight and got the
IF strip and audio section working.

I can inject a 470 kHz AM modulated signal
into the front of the IF strip and it comes out
clean at the speaker!
