Philco 38-2 Faceplate and Chassis - 38Michigan2 - 08-28-2019

Hello all!

I recently picked up a Philco 38-2 shell in decent condition for $50 and am looking at restoring it. I can't find many parts for it but I see that the faceplate/bezel and the chassis from the 38-1 and 38-3 are more readily available.

I realize the 38-3 chassis has less tubes but is it a drop-in replacement for the 38-2? Also is the faceplate/bezel the same between the models?

Thanks for any help and advice!

The same escutcheon (face plate or bezel) is used on models 38-1, 38-2, 38-3, 38-116, 38-690. The chassis of models 38-1, 38-2, 38-3 should all fit the 38-2 cabinet.
