This was in the basement of a property my husband and I purchased and cleaned out.  I would like more information about this Philco 38-10 radio.  I'm not sure if it's a reproduction or not.  The radio appears authentic, but I can't find the exact cabinet in the gallery and the backing on it is a thin piece of Avery cardboard.  We hear static as we turn the dial (new outlet plug was put on cord at some point).  I would appreciate your assessment.  Thanks!
