I just purchased my 37-116 in just as nice of shape for $200. I didn't want to pay that much but it was close by, absolutely complete(has the original operating manual), and my wife said it was okay .  I just didn't want to let it go over $50 because I was going to offer $150. The guy said he had another person interested that would pay his asking price if I didn't buy it but I was the first to call, so he gave me the first shot at it. Its all about how much you want the radio and if you can justify spending the asking price. I personally think its too high since you will be sending the chassis out to get redone, but its your money. I would wait and see if they get any other offers and if they dont, then go in with your offer. Good luck, shes a pretty Philco!
