I can tell you one thing it isn't that's a 38-116 chassis or cabinet. Will shoot for 38-2.
When my pals were reading comic books I was down in the basement in my dad's workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to figure out what all those squiggly meant. Circa 1966 Now I think I've got! Terry

I think Terry is right. I have one like it that i have not looked at in along time. My 38-116 is NOT like that!

Just take a look through the Philco Radio Gallery.

Yes but did it have the wide chevron grille cloth?

The 38-2 used the Philco "Ribbed" pattern originally, mounted vertically (up and down). Not the chevron cloth.

Radio Daze lists their GRC14 which is not exactly like the original, but is the best you can do now.

thank you Ron i have been reading about the 38-690 you have worked on these radios are more complex to work on but i am very impressed with the reception they get when finished my very first try at one of these is the philco 38-116
