Both have the same frequency coverage.
Both use that awful "Unit Construction". The original part numbers of both dial scales differ; the 38-1 and 38-2 use P/N 27-5358 while the 38-3 uses 27-5283 (same as model 37-9X). I would guess one would fit the other...no guarantees since I do not own either a 38-1 or a 38-3. -- Ron Ramirez Ferdinand IN

They are different. I had an almost tragic accident with my 38-2 dial (same as 38-1).
Thinking I may need to replace it, I checked out the RadioDaze' 38-3 reproduction to see how closely it matched. I measured the angle between the same two frequencies on each and they differed. I forget by how much. This made me doubt the the 38-3 dial would track correctly on the 38-2. Maybe a 38-1/2 could be aligned to use the 38-3 dial? When I started to restore the chassis I first removed the tubes and was cleaning them with Windex. Well, dummy me, I didn't see it was misting onto the dial. That caused dust /dirt on the dial to blob up. I very, very, very carefully cleaned the dial with Q-tips. Relatively happy ending. FYI - the blue ink seemed to be the most vulnerable, then red and then black. Can't think of anything witty. Greg O. Whitehall, PA
