>Do I understand correctly that they still set inside the cathedrals, on a shelf above the chassis?
No The set has a 3 or 4' cord that plugs into the battery pack and the pack is place somewhere else but not inside the cabinet. The chassis is going to be something simular to a model 60 - the power transformer so there is very little room inside the cabinet. The 38 doesn't use a field coil to provide the need magnatizum for the spkr but the spkr does have a large pm on it's back side reducing the inside space even more.
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
