Philco 38-10 Original?
#3

Hi and welcome,

The chassis in your set is a 38-10 and the cabinet is the XF. That's what makes it a 38-10XF.
The original finish as been removed and something has been applied to it. To put it back to it's original finish it would need to be stripped, sealed, grain filled, toned, and clear coated in lacquer.
As Bob mentioned the grille cloth is incorrect. There is two different chevron patterns. An early 1934 or so to 1937 and then 1938 & 1939. The early pattern is just about available in reproduction. The '38/'39 is still in the works.
I included the service info just because it has some basic specification.  https://philcoradio.com/library/download...l.%202.pdf I'll mention in passing don't clean the dial w/water the print will wipe off. Use mineral spirits rub gently
It's a good player I've had the table top model (same set but has an 8" spkr vs the 10 1/2" of the console).

There's probably more than you ever wanted to know about any radio.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
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!
