Philco 38-7CS...I think
#1

Hello all,

First post. I recently - Sunday - acquired a Philco 38-7CS. It is in original untouched shape and the finish is ok, not great. Some finish loss along the base from careless feet and the usual fleabites but no hacks and the veneer is tight. I came across Bob Anderson's terrific videos and I am torn between keeping it original and refreshing it but I will probably keep it the way it is.

I have been googling away and I came across pictures at radiomuseum of the 38-22CS which looks identical but is apparently an AC/DC set with a 93 volt string so I assume it came with a curtain burner. Suprised it sold for $5 more in 1938.

I hope I have the 38-7CS and not the 38-22CS but it is still in the back seat of my car until it can be cleared with she who must be obeyed. Icon_mrgreen

I'll post pictures soon.
