The 37-10 used 9 tubes. The 37-11 is a 37-10 with the extra tube.
Generally speaking it was not just add a tube, but also changes in components, improvements to a part with a new part number, re-wire a circuit and/or eliminate a component(s), etc.

See this Service Tip from my site:

PHILCO SERVICE HINTS & TIPS - NUMBER 35
Philco Code and Run Numbers Explained


Production Change Notes were issued for these Code and Run Number changes. I provide these notes (when applicable) in the info packets I provide.

The 1938 Tube Manual I have on line only covers up through the 1938 models and may not reflect subsequent Run and Code changes in those models.
