Hi folks. For a long time I've had a passing interest in antique radios, specifically ones from the mid to late 30's. Well for Christmas my family found me a Philco 37-9. What's cool is that it's in very good shape considering its age and the use it's seen. The cabinet just has a little wear and tear along with cracked veneer on the top, and the radio itself still (sorta) works! There's a missing knob, and one of the three is cracked. The tuning dial is very hard to turn and won't go more than a couple degrees past the left (clockwise) stop. But the amplifier and speaker both still work and we were able to tune in one of the very few local AM stations.
