Jim,.

No, unfortunately, it won't work. The correct p/n is actually 32-7869, not 7889, for the Model 38-1.

The HV secondary of the 32-7597 only rated at 100 ma. The 32-7869 HV secondary is 160 ma.
Also the correct transformer filament current is 6 amps, and the fil amps on the 7597 is only 3 amps.

Here are the full electrical specs for the correct 32-7869 used in the 38-1 (ALSO 38-2).

Primary = 110-120 vac
Secondary = 660 vac @ 163 ma.
Fil = 6.7 vac @ 6 A.
Rect = 5 vac @ 3 A. (Rect tube socket mounted on top shell)
