I'm current working on an early 38-116 which is a lot like your radio. It hasn't been too bad except for a couple of capacitors that are buried in the RF sub-chassis. I also highly recommend ordering a schematic from Chuck Schwarks at the Philco Repair Bench because you get all the Philco service literature with it and a very high resolution 11x17 schematic. Here is the link, http://www.philcorepairbench.com/schematics.htm . I also have a thread going on my current repair on the Antique Radio Forum here, http://www.antiqueradios.com/forums/view...p?t=135859 . There is a real good tip on how to recap this radio without taking it completely apart from John (k9uwa). Plus a few photos that might help.

Have fun
Rod
