37-650....more, yet.
#1

After I bought the 37-650XP last year, and got a speaker for it from Ron, I've been sort of keeping an eye out for more 37-650 chassis, so that I'll end up with three very nice examples of the set. Our family radio was a 37-650X that father bought new for Christmas, 1936. It served us well until some time in the fifties, when I replaced it with a Fisher, homebrew amplifier, and E-V Regency III speaker system. I've always been sort of regretful that I left the old Philco get away.

But, now, I'm getting to be sort of glutton. I will end up with the "X", the "XP", and the "B". I imagine that the X version of that set should be a real whizzbanger of performer. Now, just found anoher chassis; a nice clean one, speaker and all.

For the price, those mid-level Philcos are impossible to beat, in any respect.
