Thank Paul. No have not checked under it yet. I was really glad it has no rust on the top of chassis. HATE dealing with heavy rust and looks all original. I will update when I get it opened up.

Congratulations! You now have the best of the best Philco had to offer in a table model radio. 11 tubes, 10 watts push-pull class AB audio, AM, SW and long wave.

Thanks. I have been watching for one of these for awhile. I remember reading one of your posts about it being one of the best playing Philco table models and no separate RF chassis to deal with.

I saw that auction too. Nice radios. I'll have to keep my eyes out for one of those.

Thanks Nathan and Steve. It was a lot more than I had hoped I would have to pay to get it but I had a feeling it would go pretty high. Lost out on this one last month.

Yeah - that 37-670 looked real nice. I was still surprised at the final price but that's a great radio too.

That is a fine looking radio. Will make a great restoration. Love those shouldered cabs. On the want list. Maybe some day. No room for anything right now.

Wow Fred. That is one beautiful radio. Hope I can do mine half the justice.
Here are a few pics. of the chassis removed. I was happy to see it looks like no one has worked on it before no by-passed bakelite blocks etc..

It's very, very nice. I hope my 37-665 turns out half as good eventually.

Been making progress on the chassis. Restuffed all the paper capacitors and E caps, had to replace some of the resistors that were too far out of tolerance. I went ahead and powered it up last night before installing the big dial scale just to see ![Icon_wtf Icon_wtf](https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/smilies/icon_wtf.gif) . I was able to pick up stations across the dial. So started on the final stages of getting every thing reassembled Just wanted to show where I'm at so far.
Here is a photo of under chassis before
