FStephenMasek, Beautiful restoration you did on this unit. I have a question, I am not sure if this radio has the same RF sub-chassis as my 37-116,if so did you have problems with the band #2 oscillator coil that seems to plague many Philcos of this type? Did you rewind this coil or find a good replacement? If you did a rewind, did you keep any notes on what you did or have any tips on doing this? Thank you in advance ! And again, you have an awesome set.

Ron
