Hello,

So I just bid on and got this 37-116. Couldn't help myself, a cabinet that doesn't need work...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Philco-37-116-C...7675.l2557

The question is; do I drive ~7+ hr round trip to get it or do I have it shipped? I'm certain it will fit as I have managed to tote a 37-690 in my VW Golf (hatchback). I would remove the chassis, but leave the speaker in place with the radio loaded on its back. But I also understand he packs well for shipping and the nearest Greyhound terminal is about 10 miles away, a shorter drive. Opinions?

Is the Radiodaze grill cloth below a match for this radio? It sure looks like it is.

Can't think of anything witty.
