Hello, I just got from my brother today a Philco 37-116 code 121 radio that is in a little rough condition but I'll be getting ready to start the restoration soon. It was partially recapped and does work and of course Band 2 doesn't work so hopefully I can rewind the oscillator coil like I did on my other 37-116 code 122 radio. The cloth will need replacing and someone installed a switch and phono jack which will be removed. The dial graphics are badly faded so I need to get a replacement dial--emailed Mark Oppat to see if he has one as the one that Radio Daze has doesn't have the correct font and doesn't look right. I have attached pictures of what it looks like.    Ken
