I have a Philco 38-624T with a nice "bullet" cabinet. It has the 6 volt chassis that I believe is restorable but since I am not interested in the battery option I am looking for another Philco chassis and speaker that operates on 120volts and would fit in the 38-624T cabinet. I posted about this over on the antiqueradios forum and was referred to this post on this phorum
http://philcoradio.com/phorum/archive/i ... 13940.html. If I read this post correctly it looks like the only options are the 37-610T, 37-611T, and 38-620T. Are there any other options?
Thanks, Bob

I am currently in the middle of doing just what you are describing.
The only difference is, my 38-624T cabinet was empty when I purchased it.
I'm in the midst of
restoring a 37-640 chassis. When finished I plan to install it into the
restored 38-624T cabinet.
Here is a list of AC chassis that will fit in that cabinet:
37-610, 37-620, 37-630, 37-640, 37-2620, 38-610, 38-620, 38-630, 38-2620, 38-2630.
And a list of AC/DC chassis:
37-611, 37-641

Thanks Ron. What about speakers? Will the speakers from any of these models fit?

The speakers will need to be 8 inch units, matched to the chassis in question.
If you go to the following link here on the Phorum:
http://www.philcoradio.com/phorum/showth...hp?tid=215
and look for the Excel file
speakers.zip, download and unzip it, and study it carefully. It gives information on the speakers used with each Philco model.
