 Hopefully the previous conversion attempt did not butcher the chassis too badly, which is often the case when someone tries to convert a battery set into an AC set. The styling is very much like a Philco 60B, which has five tubes but one is a #80 rectifier, it looks like the model 38 used a type #15, a #32, a #32, a #30, and a #19, so probably about the same performance wise in the front end, although the #19 output will probably make it sound pretty good.
Regards
Arran
