Hi
The radio looked so good I thought the chassis was up and running. It may be running but from the reply I got
from my friend below it needs some work. He did do a fantastic job on the cabinet.

The 38-690 works and all the paper and electrolytic capacitors have been replaced ( probably 15 years ago). The

chassis have not been modified. The tuning mechanism needs to be lubed (the fine tuning drive slips), the volume

control needs cleaning, the dial lights are out (probably a broken wire) and there may be other items that

need attention. The radio has what Philco called "Magnetic Tuning" which I find can be a problem getting it to

work properly, resistors need to be balanced and the alignment for that circuitry needs to be right on.
