Advice for restoring 38-12
#4

http://www.philcoradio.com/resource.htm

You will probably find suitable replacements for the audio and power transformers from Radio Daze; or, if you want used originals, try Play Things Of Past.

The speaker is a different issue. Here, you have three choices:

1. replace with a modern PM speaker, substituting a 25 watt resistor under the chassis for the field coil; or

2. seek a good original speaker from a source such as Play Things Of Past, or a pull from another 38-12 chassis; or

3. have the speaker field rewound by a speaker repair shop.

Good luck. With all these problems, you may consider trying to find another 38-12 chassis with good parts, and using the one you now have as a parts donor?
