I had a 37-675 with a bad band 2 oscillator coil. I ended up pulling the coil out and rewinding it. I'm sure it is possible to rewind the coil on a 37-690, it just isn't very fun. From the schematic, the 37-675 and 37-690 use the same band 2 oscillator coil. IIRC, the 37-675 also used the same sub-chassis as the 37-116. I'll try to remember to look to see if I have notes from when I rewound that coil.
