Philco 38-60 working
#1

Picked this up from craigslist in Michigan.Had it shipped(double boxed) and it arrived safe and sound.It was missing the knobs and I will order some from Radiopup next friday.Repaired the dial lamp housing.It worked with a slight hum,so I replaced all of the caps including the hard to get one in the sub-chassis.While I was at it I replaced all the rubber gromment between the sub-chassis and the main one. Found some grill cloth at a fabric store and replaced the white sheet type material that was there.It works great and sounds fine on both shortwave and am broadcasts.It was indeed a pleasure to work on.Thanks for the help guys(Electrical phorum) and here are some pics....Doug

Looks good, its hard to find one with a finnish that nice. Was the 37-60 schematic the same?

Actually it wasn't I found a 38-60 which had the 2nd block cap with a .03 cap in the schematics in it by chance and was glad I did(laughing) Doug

Photo finish is in nice shape! You should be able to pull in some good shortwave broadcasts at night with your set, as the SW band extends to 7.4 MHz.

Yes I had the am station Wbal in Baltimore on listing to the Orioles game the other night 250 miles away it was cool!
