New to the Philco Family..thanks for having me now help me :)
#1

First off a very well put together website. I picked up my first ever tube radio four days ago, and the amount of information listed on the site and within these Phorum Walls, makes me feel like I could change my name to Phil Philco. Ask thanks to all who make this fun. Ok enough brown nosing , i obviously need a favor haha

I picked up my very first tube radio a few days ago and am looking or some guidance from you established veterans of the game. It's a 1937 Philco model 37-620 CS (chairside) it's in decent shape on the outside and I see it as a cosmetic restoration project that I will do and than perhaps sell it to a good home for spmeone that would like to embark on the electrical restoration of it.
I know the basic info of the radio ie 3500 made only cs model I that year all the models in 37 were brand new etc. so what I'm looking for is any and all wisdom you may have on all things 37-620cs. Restoration hints, parts, possible value, proper trichina use an so I and so forth.
Thank you my new family, I'll await proper guidance. Cheers all!
