Ron,
Thanks for the info. I actually have a good Elmenco fused plug which I will put on the radio. It's not cracked and looks to be solid.
As for the Magnetic Tuning transformer, both sets are 37-116, just different vintages as you pointed out. I may look into the square transformer from the parts set. I'll open it up to check the parts values inside. If they are the same, I might try it. I suppose Philco made a change for a reason.
I will wait and see if anyone has any ideas about adding an external audio input jack. The end user really wants this feature.
I know that some folks liked the simplified alignment process of the 38 models, but I found I like the 37 setup better. It allows you to peak both ends of the band and sensitivity seems more uniform across the band as compared to the 38 models I have worked on. Personal preference I guess.
Thank you again.
