Just picked this on up last week Philco 37-650
#1

The cabinet is in pretty good shape, but the chassis and speaker is trashed.

[attachment=20344][attachment=20345]

I plan on stripping the cabinet down and refinishing it. There’s just a few dings on the cabinet 

So if anyone knows where I can fine the chassis let me know.

According to the Philco model gallery I have a model 37-2650x, is different than the 37-650x I need to see a picture of a restored one, so I know what it should look like. Does anyone have on?. I want to make it as original as I can. Thanks in advanced.

Ok here is the finished cabinet, with original grill cloth, and speaker. I’m still trying to find the radio chassis.

I hate to tell you this, but the dial bezel is upside down. Other than that it is beautiful.

Wow thanks I didn’t notice that. Was so happy to get it done. It’s been a long week.

I have the dial bezel turned around now, I’m going to put the radio back together, and put it back in the cabinet, then take some more pictures.
 Here are my 3 finished radios.

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM

A pre war Hallicrafters, and an early one too, very nice! 1936 is pretty early for metal tubes too, which would explain ...Arran — 05:58 PM
