Hello and welcome!
I would recommend Mark Oppat for the dial scale; his are silkscreened and have the look of the original; they are even translucent as the originals were.

What are you going to do with just a chassis? Would you consider parting with it? Or...if you want to keep it, how close are you to Southern Indiana? If you want to keep it, I have a cabinet I'll give you...but you have to come get it. I was just thinking, if no one wants this cabinet, I might as well try to find a chassis for it...

Hello Ron, and thanks for the offer!
I would like to hang on to this one, since everytime I see one on eBay, they are waaay back east and go for big bucks! I live near Tacoma, Washington...
I am interested in obtaining a bezel, at least, so I could fashion a table-top cabinet. (the speaker & O.T. were never in my posession). This is a fine example of Philco design, and is quite a DX set, I expect. I will contact mr. Oppat for a dial; the band-select mask behind the dial is broken as well, but that can be cloned I suppose.

Yep...too far away to pick this cabinet up, that's for certain.
Enjoy your radio, the 38-116 is one of the last really great Philco sets.
