Philco 37-116x cabinet question
#9

Thanks for the feedback guys Icon_biggrin I kind of figured this was the case. I know the Canadian cabinets tended to be of much better quality than are cousins to the south. I didn't know if this was a early production change, to save money. Or maybe there were 2 levels of cabinets available as an upgrade.
The chassis is a 37-3116A and it has a massive 25 cycle transformer that is twice as tall as the 60 Hz version. The metal tag shows 25 -40 cycles (not 60 cycles) which I find interesting.
I have the schematics on the Canadian CD, it is Data sheets 41, and 41a. One thing I don't have is a parts list for the 37-3116
This one uses the 6B4G output tubes. Rectifier shows a 5U4G, but there is a 5X4G in there.
