[radioalfa]

I have had some time to look at the 38 more closely, here is what I know so far;

As I mentioned above, a conversion had been done to allow the radio to operate on AC, but the transformer failed and the previous owner removed it.

Two tube sockets have been removed, type 6 and type 30.
Other tubes
Type 19 replaced with a tube with no markings
Type 15 replaced with 6A8 G
Type 32 replaced with 75
Type 32 replaced with 78

With the exception of type 19, all other tube sockets have been replaced.
A multi section electrolytic has been added
Holes have been drilled for TX, along with some other miscellaneous holes
Has "newer" wire and some caps

I have some pictures, and will set up an account online so they can be viewed in the next couple of days.
