I really like my Philco 16B's for their exceptional AM and shortwave reception and listen to one nightly. Lately I've been hunting for the ultimate 30's Philco radios, namely the 37-690. Just noticed that nice one that was recently found on the forum.
Well I found and brought home this 1938 model at a great price. Very nice condition and 100% complete. Does have the back which many seem to be missing although not in the best shape. I've already pulled the chassis to get to work on it Icon_biggrin

Can't wait to get this one working the AM and shortwave dials!
