Restoring Philco 37-604C
#1

This radio has been on my list for a long time.
This Kutztown, I got lucky: Joe Koester had it for a very reasonable price, and when I looked at it, he immediately dropped it down to a mere $100. That was the offer I could not refuse.

I have published some photos before; the bezel (escutcheon?) has a little viewing window damage.

   
   
   
   
   

I opened it up. The opening is a learning process.
Then I decided to remove the tuning assembly.
If only for gaining access to the capacitors' can.
Plus the grommet is bad, and one of the two grommets on the two shafts (volume and the switch) is missing.

That comes down to removal of two wires and a Grounding braid.

So, below is the bottom of the chassis

   

Front
   

The chassis on the stand near the Riders (Good thing I have it: the NA somehow does not have the 37-604)
   

And, the last, the assembly removed
   

Now to the recap. First the regular caps, then the can.
Oh...at a minimum, the choke on the left, one of the two filter ones, is open and one wire was cut.
I have my work cut out for me.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
