Ken, you are also lucky that Philco designed the 1937 tube shield bases the way that they did. Using the four crimped "fingers" to grip the tube shield, the base is made in such a manner that any type of tube may be plugged in - G, GT or metal.

Unfortunately the 1938 models use the same tube shield bases as did the 1936 Philcos. This means that only G tubes will fit in the tube shield bases. I can't tell you how many 1938 Philcos I've encountered with their tube shield bases either damaged or ripped completely out so that a metal or GT tube could be plugged into the socket.
