My Philco 37-116 Restore
#2

I have restored 2 of these a few years ago.  I believe you can un-bolt the speaker and tip it out of position to remove.  the wood base is probably glued in. these are great, good sounding radios!  They are not, however the easiest to rebuild.  The tuner section can be a bit of a challenge, especially since the police band oscillator coil is often open because of corrosion.  I had to rewind these coils on both of the 37-116's I did.  Do not be discouraged, however. The performance is well worth the patience need to fully rebuild the radio!  I can see that the cone suspension for the passive radiators has deteriorated. Perhaps someone has a solution for that.  Mine were still intact, though beginning the deterioration process.

Here is a link to the tread for one of the 37-116 radios: philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=19530

Also: philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=21139
A much shorter thread on the second 37-116

I do believe there are a couple of other threads on these radios as well.  Do a search.
