[NJARC] Philco 37-610

[Ken]

Nick -

I believe I was the one who purchased that console.  It was a Philco 37-610. 
I started the bid for a buck and no one else bid against me. I really only 
wanted it for parts because the veneer on the lower third of the sides was 
shot.  After examining it, I decided I would adhere to my radio restoration 
philosophy that if the radio is complete - restore it - don't trash it. 
Hopefully I can find some veneer for the sides or maybe another empty 
cabinet somewhere. Thanks for the history.

Ken N.
