Let me offset Ron's blasphemy a bit. First of all I am not a "Philco guy", or for that matter any manufacture "guy". And I don't have any chrome monsters. But I do have my 37-116 in the living room - and a Walton(s). So I do think that the big 1937 and 38 Philcos are top notch along with my AK447, my Emerson Mae West, my Clago Radiocron and a few black dial Zeniths. There are a few to compare to on my site "before and after", in relation to the big Philco. Plus it is getting hard to find a good cabinet anymore.

And I like very early battery radios. Did I mention I just acquired 2 Federals and a Westinghouse RA and DA?

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM

Maybe this is starting to make some sense in my hard head.  Is this why the wire in question was not in the great Ron Ra...georgetownjohn — 04:34 PM
