Did the 38-3XX console originally have a back panel on it? If so, what did it look like? And did it serve any functional purpose other than to keep the kids from electrocuting themselves? My 38-3XX has some clips around the back edge that look like they MIGHT have held a panel at one time, but if there was one it was long gone by the time I got the set.

Anybody have a good photo of one? Also, what material was it made of, and how thick?

not there now,though. They must have been fairly fragile if so few of them are around now.

Suggestion: Send the fellow in the thread above (Murf) a PM and see if he still has the radio with the back on it and would send you photos.
Cheers,
Bob

Hello,
I sold mine. Sorry.
Back was just made out of hardboard.
Had a bunch of slots cut in it for ventilation.
Would be easy to make.
Good luck.
