What radio do I have? 38-40 what?
#1

Hi,

I found a good working Philco in a very nice cabinet at a thrift store. Then I found this Philcoradio.com and looked at all the photos of the 38-40s but none are like mine. Mine is a floor model made for 110v or 6 volt DC.

Here's a photo.

Since the cabinet is so nice, I had planned to just make it into a speaker, but since it works that seems like a shame.
Can anyone tell me the value or what to call it besides 38-40 like it says on the back.

It seems the knobs are tuning, fast and slow on top. Then on/off, tone hi/low. In the middle, AM or SW and on the right volume. None are labeled, but that seems to be what they do. Are there other functions I'm missing.

I love the art deco styling of this radio.

Thanks,

Todd

AM 1530 Riverside Radio (my home AMT3000 station)

I tried accessing the site through our library and got the same response. It's reported to our tech gurus. GaryGarySP — 11:50 AM

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM
