Not a sofa but an old recliner we wanted to get rid of but our Maddy claimed it! Icon_lol

I was right, it's a chair.

Dog looks comfortable for sure; OK you can't get rid of the chair.  There has got to be more room somewhere, so many radios to save, so little time.  Icon_cool

No, don't get rid of the chair. Not only you will make the dog unhappy, but you will still not gain enough room for another good size console.

I am sure the dog will support me on that.

I have 2 37-116's  Great sounding/performing radios.  Seems to me I had to rewind the oscillator coils for one of the bands on both radios.  Seemed to be a common problem.

Where did you get the recliner covers? I could use a few of those myself for my "fur-shedding baby". Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary

Our cats made a sieve out of my leather couches, and the fur is, well, everywhere.
One of the cats' owner's rule is:"Cat fur is a condiment".

@rfeenstra, yup, had to rewind #2 band oscillator coil. First time I ever rewound a coil and you know the cramped quarters it’s in. Rewound it 3 times before it finally worked. It works but doesn’t track quite right but there’s not much on that band anyway so I let it be. Not pulling it out and doing it a 4th time!

@GarySP, my wife says she got it at a local department store, Boscovs. She said you can probably look online.

My shop, my son’s former bedroom, is where I keep the rest of my radios, tabletops. I do have my Philco 620 tombstone in our bedroom and a Zenith T/O in the kitchen. As far as room for any more floor models, there is none unless I put them in the middle of the floor. Icon_lol

It seems #2 coil (police band) is a popular problem.

When in Kutztown this last time, I spoke to a guy, who had to do it in 38-116. I told him I had exact same problem on my 38-690. Only I chose not to rewind it as the effort was not worth the result: there is nothing on this band, and to take it out I would have to do a lot of work.
