The dial scale has stations for Milwaukee and Chicago, they are- WIND, WTMJ, WMAQ, WGN, WBBM, WCCO, WLS, WENR, WCFL, WISN, WOMT, WTAQ and KFIZ. Makes sense as I live about 55 miles north of Milwaukee.
The 38-4 is in very good condition and still has almost all Philco tubes in it! Apart from one under chassis Philco brand replacement electrolytic cap and a newer power cord, it looks to be unmolested. The cabinet finish is still very presentable and I am thinking of trying that Howards "Restore-A-Finish" on it. Not too bad for $45 bucks!!!!!
At first I was only really interested in the Model 19X. I was intrigued by the unusual dial escutcheon! I had never seen one like that before. Was there a special reason for that design? Anyway, the guy shot me such a great deal at $45 each that I ended up with both. The 38-4 is pretty late for what I collect but I'm very happy with it.
I was kind of surprised when I took the 19 chassis out to look at it and found that instead of the bakelite condensor blocks there were terminal boards in there with caps and resistors mounted to them! Talk about early PC boards!!!!!
