Some time ago - some time last year, don't remember exactly when - I bought an empty Philco 38-624T "Bullet" cabinet.

Then in March of this year, I found this poor 37-640B at a nearby antique shop, cheap:

It looks better in the photos than it did in real life.

Kirk was wanting to practice with photofinish, so he now has the 37-640B cabinet.

This left me with a recipe for a hot-rodded 38-624T with a seven tube 37-640 chassis.

The cabinet is all done and waiting for a working chassis:

Incidentally, the cabinet now sports the escutcheon from the 37-640B cabinet, which I needed since it has an opening for the shadow meter above the dial.

So...here we go!

I began by cutting off the old power cord. Then I removed the cover from the top of the audio output transformer mounted on the speaker, unplugged the four pins at the ends of the speaker cable, pulled the cable from the cover, and put the cover back on the audio output transformer by reattaching the two bolts holding it in place. Now I will set the speaker aside for awhile. I might even bolt it into the cabinet to protect it from damage.

more to come...
