38-1 cabinet progress
#25

I'm new to the Phorum and noticed this thread on the Philco 38-1. I purchased one about a month through Craig's list. The owner had only 2 pictures posted but the cabinet looked beautiful! He was asking $40 and I pretty much purchased it over the phone, sight unseen. It was a 100 mile drive each way but well worth it. Not much history from the owner other than he bought it for $25 at a yard sale! So he was happy with the sale and so was I! I have someone that does the chassis/electrical work for me and I do the cosmetics. It has not been tested yet so not sure what will be involved in repair/restoration. I'm fascinated by the automatic tuning aspect of this model. I'm just getting into vintage radios and like the Philco units as I am a Ford guy (not to mention the cool styling)! My Philco collection includes the 38-1, 48-482 (listening to the SF Giants on this radio right now), 49-909 (AM/FM table model), and a A-361 console with the converted AM car radio. I look forward to being an avid contributor and will probably be asking lots of questions regarding my Philco's and this "highly addicting" hobby. Thanks for your time.

Craig R.
