A Philco 38-690 Restoration
#21

May 11.

At Kutztown, I ran into an old friend whom I had not seen for several years...fellow radio collector Dr. Mike Schwartzman.

He and his brother Dr. Dan were both there and it was great to see both of them. I had seen Dan at a recent Kutztown event, but as I said, it had been several years since I had seen Mike so it was great to have a little time to catch up with him.

As luck would have it, Mike had brought a 38-116 chassis. He very kindly gave it to me. I can't say how much I appreciated this very kind gift, especially since I had a feeling I was going to need yet another RF unit for this 38-690 project.

Steve (azenithnut on ARF and theradiofox here) had mentioned that he was needing the shaft for the IF-expander assembly for a 38-116. I only needed the RF unit from Mike's chassis, so I removed the RF unit on the spot and re-gifted the remainder of the chassis to Steve.
