Tonight I hooked up my Philco 38-10 to my outdoor antenna. She performs about exactly as well as my 37-61 did, which is not surprising considering how similar the circuits are. Here is a picture of the underside of the chassis all finished. Note that I replaced the 10K resistor with a 10K 10Watt wirewound. works a treat ! When trying to sort out the 2nd detector issue I also removed the phono input and returned the radio to original just to eliminate one other possible problem. It didn't help, but that's why it's gone.

And here is a picture of the radio in its cabinet, all aglow and working. I am quite pleased with her. For a glorified "All American five" she does pretty well.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
