Ron's 2016 Cabinet Work Part III: 38-624T
#3

I looked inside the cabinet...

...and discovered that I was wrong about what this cabinet had been originally.

The two identifying stickers are both badly damaged, but there is enough of the model number sticker to indicate that its background was...green, not blue.

Ah ha! A battery radio. So it had to have been a 38-623T or 38-624T originally.

A lot of the tube layout sticker is likewise gone, but there was enough to indicate a vibrator power supply and a few of the 1 volt battery tubes.

Battery tubes, vibrator supply - it was originally a 38-624T. I've changed the title of this thread accordingly.

Hey, Jeff (PhilcoPhan1936) - didn't your cabinet come with a 38-623 or 38-624 chassis?
