The PHILCO Phorum

My brother-in-law picked this one up for me in Frederick MD for $40.00

Congrats! Nice looking set!

Radio Daze does list two different dials for the 38-4, would these work??

Thanks Im looking forward to its arrival on new years eve.

Kewl looking set!!! Chassis also looks easy to work on. GL and you know where to post to get good help to fix her up!

It seems the Philco has cast a spell upon my sisters cat Doug

No..the 38-4 dial is totally different.

My Sister and her Hubby brought the radio up last night looks like it will be an interesting restoration! speaker needs re- coning and a dial glass and speaker cloth Doug

It's alive It's alive!!! Got her up and running after some major speaker repair(amazing what a kid with a pencil can do to a speaker!!).Looks like the electrolytics were replaced, I put in a new power cord hooked it up to my varitran v-1 to power it up slow and lo and behold I got a nice clear station.The pilot light socket is bad though need a new one. Thanks to all that helped Doug

That pilot lamp socket can be rebuilt.

Thanks! Sounds great too! Even though the speaker is patched up! Doug

Ok Question As this is the first time I have fixed a Philco.The 3 knobs on the bottom, the right is on and off ,the middle is the band switch but the left? Is that tones? Thanks Doug
