New ones no. There is a fella that use to build repro batteries for old sets but he busy w/life and family. Don't know if he is still doing it or not. Look up Batterymaker his name is Bill. On epay I found a few interesting bits. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Philco-Model-38...SwjmRc6Gyu goto the 5th pic it show the batteries and hookup. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Radio-B...Sw9OFZFwpR I'm thinking that this one could be the heavy duty B battery for the 38. The A battery could have been a 6v car battery w/straps on the top connecting the 2v cells together. Connecting to the 2v strap would work fine.
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
