Gentlemen, I had someone to ask if I would look at their radio, and I said yes. While I havn't been actively involved in radios lately, I decided to give it a look. I found a fairly decent Philco 37-116,nice cabinent for its age, dirty chassis and missing two knobs BUT it powered up with just a little static and the tubes, at least those that I could see lighting up. I found the tuner would not move, so upon closer examination it appears that the tuning mechanism is stuck.
What type of tuning system does the owner have for this radio? Any and all thoughts appreciated.
