38-1525
#3

Hi,

There is no such thing as a model 38-1525. This may be a Philco part number for some component?

Photos of the chassis would be very helpful. As these left the factory, they were made so only ST (taper-top) glass tubes could be used. It was common for repair shops to modify the tube shield bases (or remove them entirely) so metal or GT tubes could be used. Perhaps this is what happened to your chassis. An audio jack, or jacks, was also a common add-on, not done at the factory but later on by repair shops (and, sometimes, owners themselves).

How many tubes does this chassis have in it? Again - photos would help a great deal.

If you need guidance on posting photos here, please read:
