This is my first time so please be patient. A friend of mine bought ( E-Bay ) what he thought was a Philco 38-33 from the US but alas it wasn't.
A 38-33 is supposed to be a battery radio but the one that was sent to him was a 110v AC model. There is no model number on the chassis but the dial does have the Philco label on it. The tube line up is 50L6-35Z5-12Q7-12A8-12K7. My problem is this, the radio had been "got at" by someone who didn't know what they were doing resulting in missing components as well as incorrect wiring. I spent many hours trying to find to identify the chassis on Nostalgia Air's site without success. My other option is to draw out the circuit as presented to me. It was by chance that I came across this Phorum and am hoping that someone may be able to help.
Kind Regards
