My 37-630 chassis project is completed
#1

Thanks to Ron & all here on this forum that helped me with questions here! I also send my best "regards" to whoever designed the Philco mid-Rf chassis design!! That design deserves some special credit indeed!! Special thanks goes also to JF Riders for providing me a original "readable" print that is in my in-house collection of orig service manuals. The "Philco condensers & more" book I purchased from AES several yrs ago also came in very handy!! This orig 37-630 chassis showed up via my Wife in my repair shop.Her Dads orig "heirloom-family" chassis saved by her older Bro.It was a "chassis only" project. No orig cabinet (X) orig type console. I purchased on eBay the shadowmeter-escutcheon from a canadian radio, & a nice US model 37-610 (shouldered tombstone) cab & chassis for my retrofit. Everything fits except trying to mount orig spkr over the shadowmeter assy. I can retrofit a smaller PM type new spkr in its place. This is a true "one-off" Frankenradio, but hey, "three gang condensers & 6- tubes RULE!!! Thanks to Ron for helping me identify it!... the chassis is now fully-serviced!! All new caps, all new "point-to-point" wiring, (even AC trans leads, & IF Cans connects), this is a "true 6-tube performer"!! This chassis is performing as new on all Bands. I still need to "tweak" the shadowmeter? May need somemore guidance there. The shadowmeter #44 bulb is "lit" at least!! Installed new mid-chassis rubber-grommets from special-order (Thanks Ed!!),were back on the air!!! Randal
