Need help with identification
#1

Can anyone provide any information about the Philco radio in picture attached.
Year, model, value, etc....
We cannot find any labels or markings on the cabinet.
The only history that I know is that it came from a lake house build in the 30's and has been sitting in my father basement since 1965.
Any information would be greatly appreciated

Looks like its a 37-10X (link to our gallery)

Some schematic info from our library:

Thank you Bob.

My next question now is what to do with it.  
Right now it is scheduled for the landfill but I would much rather it goes to someone who can put it to use.

It would be a shame to trash it. There's a plethora of help and expertise right here. The cabinet looks like it's in pretty good condition so why not give it a try? Maybe a friend or relative would like to help you.

Post an ad in For Sale or Trade here on this website. Set your price as "FREE" and I am sure there will be someone here who will be happy to take it off your hands.

Don't know where For Sale or Trade is? Go to the Phorum home page:

https://philcoradio.com/phorum/

and scroll down to almost the bottom of the page, under the Trading Post banner - you will see it there.
