Hello from a rookie
#2

Welcome, my first Philco was also a 37-620, the console version. The experts here will soon chime in on what is important to do. Even I know you should not just plug it in without some precautions.
You could easily burn out the transformer and/or some tubes.

Restoring should be fun, but don't expect to make a large profit when finished. This is a common model and the console at least, doesn't sell for much. If you catch the collecting bug you may need
to look for a larger home, or like me, do without living and rec rooms. Good luck.
