Ah, you've posted photos now - good. Icon_thumbup

I see the 37-650 does not have its original tone arm, but it shouldn't be too difficult to find an original. It should have the 1930 "bat wing" tone arm with a magnetic pickup and the old PHILCO logo with lightning bolt. Those tone arms, incidentally, were made by RCA Victor and used in several competing sets, including even Atwater Kent. Each manufacturer replaced the RCA Victor logo with its own logo.

I've only seen one 37-650PX in all of my years of collecting, and it was at AWA-Rochester in the mid-1990s.

It's possible that the red wire, actually a grid cap lead, is a very old replacement, I can't remember seeing a pre 1939...Arran — 09:18 PM
