Philco 37-116X is home and back together!
#6

Oops, RF section. Sorry, couldn't recall right. Right now the radio is playing great, so I am going to take my buddy's advice and 'LEAVE IT ALONE!'. Learned that the hard way with my little Zenith 705 a few months. Just had to pull that chassis and check the tubes one final time. Bottom cover is held on by only one screw on the end (Why, Zenith?) and when I put the chassis back in the radio it shifted and shorted right to a solder joint. Thankfully, it could be repaired. We secured the bottom a little better as well.
Oh, I will have to come up with a beefier voltage reducer to use with these radios. It and my 116X are too much for the one the old gentleman at my buddy's shop rigged up for me. It's only really good up to 100 watts input, after that and it gets way too hot.

No matter where you go, there you are.
