Mine is a code 125 as well. Until I got my 38-116XX a month or so ago, I hadn't realized there were two versions.
For such a high end radio, there seems to be quite a few of these and the 37-116 around. I'm not saying they're a common find, just that I've seen more of these compared to other 15-tube models from other manufacturers such as RCA or Zenith and it seems like if someone has a high end console in their collection it's either a 37-116 or 38-116.
I haven't started restoration of mine, but it looks like it won't be easy. I figure I'll probably do my 38-3 as a "workout" before moving on to the 38-116, as I've never restored a magnetic tuning model before.
Ron, you wouldn't happen to have any production figures for each type of 38-116 (the 121 and 125) would you?
