Philco 38-9 - Chris Drumma - 11-27-2006

I was just given this farm radio console(thanks Lou!) and have a few questions.
What size and type speaker does it take?
What type of batteries are needed?
thanks
Chris

38-9 is an AC operated model. Are you sure it isn't a 38-38? Or perhaps 38-39 (which operates on a 6 volt storage battery)?

Ron,
Will have to double check when I get home. I probably wrote the number down wrong.
thanks

I'm building them at the present time for someone.

See my post in the electronic restoration section.

Bear in mind, you'll need two batteries, a BC pack and an A battery. What do your A battery leads terminate into, a two-pin plug or large alligator clips?

Batterymaker,
There are just two bare wires for the A battery labelled A+ and A-. I also have a bunch of other battery sets that I would be interested in buying battery packs. Please e-mail me at tuberadiophile at aol dot com.
thanks
Chris
