How does it sound over all? How were you expecting it to sound? I've heard one, only one high fidelity set in my life. Back in 94, I was over a gents house purchasing HAM equipment. While in his front room, I noticed a very nice, and different console. I asked what it was, and he said a Philco 37-690. The radio itself was absolutely gorgeous. He told me he had restored it from the ground up. I didn't doubt him as he restored boat anchors, vintage & modern HAM transceivers as a business. He turned it on and started showing me the better aspects of the set. I remember CFCO was playing, and the sound quality was outstanding. I didn't own anything that sounded as good or as loud in the BCB. Heck I never knew Philco or any manufacture produced so called high fidelity sets until then. Tweeters, variable band width. I was intrigued.
