    Description

    Rare Antique 1937 Philco Chairside Radio Model 37-620-CS. The wood frame measures about 22" high and base is 14 1/2" x 25 1/4". I am guessing it weighs around 50 pounds. I plugged it in and I received hum and some static, it may need some restoration to work fine or may simply need a better antenna. The wood case is solid and sturdy, a previous owner apparently refinished it and it looks good but I can see some slight brush strokes. The wood is a mahogany veneer and there is very slightest edge chipping in a couple spots. Please see my 12 detailed photos. Please try to make a free local pickup if possible.
    The Philco model 37-620 series (1936-37) is the follow-on to the earlier model 620 series (1935-36). Like the 620 series, the 37-620 series has a 6-tube 3-band chassis, but is updated with octal tubes. Band coverage is BC, 2.3-7.4 MHz, and 7.35-22 MHz. There are two versions of the chassis, marked with code 121 and code 125, with minor circuitry differences between the two (see schematics).
    There are four models in the series with different cabinet styles. Model 37-620B is a tombstone with a slightly trapezoidal profile and rounded top corners.
    The Model 37-620J is a floor-type console, also with a slightly trapezoidal profile, and three vertical bars in front of the speaker.
    Model 37-611K has vertical and diagonal bars in the speaker opening, in a pattern reminiscent of the feathers and shaft of an arrow pointing downward.
    Model 37-620CS is Philco's only chairside radio for the 1937 model year. This model has the controls and dial in a recessed area on the top surface of the cabinet.
    Stein mentions this model as a  two bands radio.
    Only 3500 Philco Chairside radios were made in 1937.
