Hi and welcome to the Phorum,
On the Philco to be more precise it's a 37-650X which a bit of a different animal than the 1936 model 650X. Both are good sets but the 37 model is more challenging to service. I would give the chassis the evil eye go over it and check the major parts for failures. I think Ron mentioned that the 37-650 has a propensity for the band switch to arc and burn. Not good. It would be a shame to spend a lot of time, energy, and money to find that you need find a parts set to complete your project.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
