Just an update... found the correct speaker. (Although it looks like it will need reconed.) Will be buying it from a gentleman of ARF in California. Cabinet is in the process of being ordered. Have checked all the coils and RF/if transformers (I hope) and they are all close to the right resistance. I have completed one Philco Bakelite box (power line input caps) and am starting the second one. I think in a few weeks I will have a functional 38-5B.

Thanks for the help thus far. I suspect there will be many more questions.
