I don't have a lot of '37 and later sets around unless there is something unusual about it. Not a big fan of the chassis in chassis sets or the '39-'42 rubber wire ones.
I did look around to see if I could find a pic of the 38-5 dial drive. But didn't see anything that was really up close.
Glad to hear you got the dial drive sorted properly and chassis all tuned up! Might try to give wtww a listen @ 5085kc around 8pm. just be careful they might melt your shadow meter... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WTWW
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's

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!

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