  • The Philco model 37-60 series uses a 5-tube 2-band (BC and 2.3 - 7.4 MHz) chassis.

    There are four models in the series with different cabinet styles. The early version of 37-60B is a cathedral with an arch-shaped profile. The late version of 37-60B is a rectangular tombstone.

    The early version of 37-60F is a floor-type console with a tulip pattern for the speaker opening. The late version of 37-60F has a large rectangular speaker grill with three vertical bars in front of the speaker.

    Stein "Cathedral & Tombstone Radios" shows a model "60B" with with 3 knobs and lists only 1 band.
