-
The Philco model 37-2620B, 37-2620J, 37-2620CS, and 37-2620EZ are export versions of the domestic models 37-620B, 37-620J, and 37-620CS; the 37-2620EZ was exported to France and does not have a domestic model cabinet version. Like some other export models, these substitute a long wave band in place of one of the domestic version's two short wave bands. Band coverage is 150-350 kHz, BC, and 5.7-18 MHz. Tubes with -E suffix are ruggedized versions for harsh environments.
Cabinet style is indicated by the suffix of the model number. Model 37-2620B is a tombstone, 37-2620J is a floor-type console, 37-2620CS is a chairside, and 37-2620EZ is a table model.
