Went to the pinball show for the second day (wasn't going to originally) and came home with this beauty! Supposed to be already electronically restored and looks like new cabinet-wise. No cracks or chips that I can tell. I balked a little at the price, but I know this is Philco's first bakelite table radio and all I ever find intact are the wood versions.

   

Performs quit well actually, better than the wood 38-12 I own. Might swap it out with the 37-84 for my bedroom radio.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Thankyou for the kind words sir. I double checked it with my component tester and it read 2.7 ohms at .02mH.Stormlord5500 — 08:14 AM
