Vintage Philco Model 37-89 AM/SW Cathedral Radio Working! Perfect For Restoring

Vintage Philco Model 37-89 Cathedral radio that is a good candidate for restoration. I was not able to receive anything on the shortwave band, but that is not unusual for this area, as the signal is not strong. The finish on the radio is all original and has simply been cleaned and polished with a professional wood wax, but it is showing wear on the front and there is a veneer chip on the left front edge that has been patched with wood putty. The power cord is in good condition. The grill cloth is in good condition, with a small tear on the right side. All of the knobs turn smoothly and properly, but the bottom center knob is not original. The dial indicator functions properly as well, but the plastic dial indicator is broken and has been taped together. The chassis does have some surface rust, but nothing out of the ordinary. Great looking cathedral radio to add to your collection. Do not hesitate to make an offer, all will be considered.

The finish on the radio has simply been cleaned and polished with a professional wood wax. There are some ripples in the veneer, but still presents well. Unfortunately, the radio is not functioning – only humming, so it will probably need to be recapped. All of the tubes tested good on my Eico Model 625 tube tester. The knobs all turn smoothly and properly, but the dial indicator gets hung up and does not move at times, so it is not functioning properly. The on/off knob no es around at the stem, so it may be partially broken, but it still functions. The glass dial cover is broken – see photo. Power cord is original, and in good condition. The grill cloth is in great condition, with no rips, or holes and minor stains. Two of the feet are missing there rubber bodies and all that remains is the metal pin. Great looking radio that will be a fine addition to your collection. Do not hesitate to make an offer, all will be considered.
