Fred - hmmm, your comments almost makes me want to restore either my 37-643B or my 38-643B (or both!). Both are all-wave, battery-operated tombstones with shadow meters; they are probably the best battery operated Philcos ever made. At present, though, they are both "shelf queens" along with my 32-volt Model 32B tombstone.
