Hi all

Wasn't there a revision for Philco 37-93 or 38-93 published in Philco's "Changes in models" ? I thought there was and I can't find it. Icon_confused

Thanks,

No Philco Production Changes In Models for the 37-93 or the 38-93 (leftover 37s in a new cabinet). From what I can tell there were very few made; no figures for the 1937 version, but only 5,300 of the 1938 versions were made.
