Philco 37-116
#1

Good afternoon, I just got done restoring my Philco 37-116 radio this morning. I got this radio about 3 weeks ago and started working on it after I brought it home. The only flaw with the radio is the veneer is cracked across the curved top and I'm trying to figure out how to fix it as I am not an expert in woodworking. It is the code 126 chassis with the 6A5G output tubes instead of the 6B4G tubes normally found in this model. The restoration went well and all lamp sockets were rebuilt and all bakelite blocks stuffed and all 5 bands work including range 2 which usually has an open oscillator coil. I'm also obtaining the grille cloth and I'll refinish the cabinet as soon as the weather gets warmer. Next project, I'll be working on my Philco 38-1 as the automatic tuning mechanism is now sticking as I turn the dial.
