New to Phorum and a Philco 38
#1

Hello all, I just registered to the Phorum tonight, after the purchase of a Philco 38. The radio had been converted to AC at one point, then sometime after that the transformer failed. The previous owner then removed the TX with the thought of replacing it but never did.
So, my challenge is to restore it back to being a battery set as it should be. This is only my second Philco, my first being a Hippo. I really like the styling of this set, and look forward to getting it going.
I suspect that I will need to post questions in the future as I begin this project. I'll take some photos and post them also.

Russ
