Possible 37-84
#1

I have a possible chance to purchase a decent 37-84 to add to my Philco collection and I am wondering what it might be worth. The cabinet is in realy good shape, photo finish is good except some wear around the off-on/volume knob. Both knobs are there and all the tubes are there. Cord looks good, chassis is fairly clean and the speaker looks good. The numbers on he dial look to have eaten off from a reaction to the oil on the original owner's fingers, so will need to replace that. Dial is there, just no numbers left. Also we tried it on a variac and got no response.
It might come down to a 'make an offer' deal and I want to arm myself with good facts. I have been wanting one of the four tube Philco Cathedrals for a while, but good luck finding any in my area. He also has a Philco Junior version and slightly beat-up one that looks just like the Philco used in the old 'Soul Man' skits in the 70's. (People who watched channel 8 from Cleveland will know what I mean. Icon_wink )

No matter where you go, there you are.
