Hey Jerry don't we all!!!!!
The 38-690 looks great! I think you would have to had waited a long time to find another as nice as that one. Seems to be a fairly local set. With WRC,WMAL, and WFMD on the presets. First two are out of Wash,DC. WRC (980kc back in the 80's the call sign was change to WWRC) of The Joy Boys of Radio fame. One of them was the first Ronald McDonald and was on tv doing to national weather report. Willard Scott. The other chap I think is still hosting The Big Broadcast on WAMU (FM in Washington) where he plays three hours of OTR on Sunday night. Ed Walker.
WMAL (630kc) in the '60's had Harden and Weaver on in the mornings. Contemporary standards music and talk. Can remember vividly listening for the winter school closing when I was a kid. Later in the late '70's they play Fibber McGee and Molly Saturday afternoons.
WFMD out of Fredrick,MD but only is running 5KW daytime. I would suspect that your set is from near Fredrick or so.
Anyway enough of the history lesson.
