Well, I'm now tearing apart my parts chassis- I think it is from a 38-3, but stamped inside is 38-1754. Details match a 38-3: 9 tube, 3 band, magnetic tuning. I'm just wondering about the 1754 stamp... Any ideas? Or is it just a miscellaneous stamping? I know my 37-650 had 37-650 clearly stamped on it in several places...

Mainly tearing this one up because it came as a parts set to me, but space requirements demand I take it to parts. No cabinet or speaker- I just was given the chassis, with a couple tubes on it. Luckily one was an excellent 6F6G I needed for the 37-650. Also, I believe it has the same power supply- although the numbers are different.

Lots of bits, however... Now I happily have more bakelites to rebuild for stock, some more junctions, rf coils, variable caps, tube sockets... Just have to figure out what to do with the magnetic tuning parts. Keep them or flog 'em? I'm having fun Icon_smile
