Here is my latest Philco.   37-116X.  Original finish, knobs, and grille cloth. Electronically restored.  It is a wonderful beast of a radio.

It is a great radio. A bit more rare then the Deluxe version.

Actually one was being sold during the last 4-5 months close to me.
I was bately holding myself from calling a guy. Were it not for the pandemic, I would.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

I restored one like that a couple of years ago. When they are right, the sound is very good!

Personally, I prefer the standard model with the shadow meter, like this one.
