I picked this radio up a few years and did a quick recap.  Just enough to get it playing.  My recent experience working on a similar 37-640 got me thinking it was time to do a proper job.  That includes replacing the rotting rubber mounts now that I know how to get the RF chassis out Icon_smile

I'm also going to do something about that terrible refinishing job and speaker grille Icon_thumbdown
