Well, I thought I'd start with the 38-12 since it will be a lot easier to bring to life. Nastiest chassis I have ever seen! But the good thing is, it's never been touched. All 5 tubes are Philcos, all the caps are original, the electrolytics are original- so I put a new a/c cord on and was about to start recapping. On a whim I decided to see what it would do on the variac so I slowly brought it to 90 volts and it PLAYED! I didn't play it long but it was fantastic! nice, clear and loud. Makes you wonder how some of those part can last so many years.
