No, not exactly. The RF chassis on the 38 is simplified from the 37. It is easier to rebuild. The tube compliment is different. Different mixer tube, 1st audio, audio driver and outputs, and the rectifier.. The 37 uses 6B4 outputs. These are filament cathode outputs necessitating a hum balance pot. The 38 uses 6L6's. I just finished a 37-116 (did one a year or more ago as well), and finished a 38-116 a couple of months ago. Both great radios! As well as what Terry just mentioned about the speaker.
