Vintage, Art Deco Philco Model 37-62, that is a great candidate for restoration. Radio is only able get some static and the volume is low, so it will need to have the capacitors replaced to get it functioning. All of the tubes tested good on my Eico Model 625 tube tester. Chassis is very clean with no evidence of rust or corrosion. All of the knobs turn smoothly and properly and the dial indicator functions properly as well. A close inspection of the plastic dial indicator reveals that it was broken at one point and repaired with tape/glue. In addition, the light that illuminates the dial indicator is missing. The power cord is in good condition, a little stiff and the grill cloth is in good shape, with no rips or holes. The finish on the radio is all original and has simply been cleaned and polished with a professional wood wax. There is some wear to the faux finish on the front face, and a veneer chip along the back edge of the left side of the radio, but overall, the radio still presents well. With a little bit of restoration work, this radio will be a fine addition to your collection. Restored models without the original faux finish have commanded big prices. Do not hesitate to make an offer, all will be considered.
