Philco Console Radio Identification Help!
#16

Great job, guys! I've been lurking -

Lurking

but you figured it out!

Now, the 37-611 does not appear to have continued into the 1938 season as a 38-611. So, one of two things must have happened here:

1, someone stuck a 37-611 chassis into a cabinet intended for a 38-623K, 38-624K, 38-630K or 38-2630K; or

2, Philco did it to us again and issued a Phactory Phranken-Philco using up old stock of 37-611 chassis in whatever cabinets they could fit them in (in this case, a 38-623K/624K/630K/2630K).

I have looked at all of the pictures, and I did not see a tube layout sticker on the inside of the cabinet. Is there one? If it is still there and intact, it will give the original model number. That would be the true determining factor of just what this set is. But if the tube layout sticker is not present, then who knows? All we can then do is guess.

In any event, we know the chassis is a 37-611, so you may proceed with repairs knowing that bit of info.
