The problem has been solved. I forgot to solder one of the 6 volt transformer wires.

Hi dconant, have you received your new dial from Radio Daze yet? I’m curious to know how it looks compared to the original. I have a 37-116 that I recently finished after having it for 11 years. My original dial was cracked so I ordered a new one from them back then but I’m a little disappointed with it as it seems to be darker or more opaque than the original. I have a brighter LED dial light behind it but it’s hard to see the numbers on the dial, maybe it’s my 73 year old eyes! I’m wondering if in the 11 years since I purchased my replacement dial they changed the formula of the dial material and it is now easier to read.

Hi Ron, No I have not. They told me it was ready to ship. I had ordered several other dials of which some were not in stock so I had to wait the 6 week period. They asked if I wanted my 38-2 dial now I said I can wait as I was in no hurry but now I wish I had said ship it. Others I have bought from them have been pretty good and I'm happy with them.

I'd like to get a 37-116 but they are too expensive for me. I got a pretty good deal on my 38-2. I recently got a 91 off ebay for 20.00 but the shipping was a killer at 85.00 but still a good deal. Turns out speaker is pretty much a loss. Bad coil and transformer.

Thanks Dan, just wondering how easy the new one is to read! I don’t know how much a 37-116 can be found for today, haven’t really looked. I got mine for $125 which I didn’t think was bad but I had to travel out of state for a 6 hour round trip for it! Yeah that $85 shipping is a killer, it’s getting crazier as time goes on!

I have found all the dials I have from Radio Daze easy to read. If you like I can let you know how my 38-2 looks when I get it.

Thanks that would be great. If the new version is more like my original, I might consider buying one!
