Philco Round top radio (38-1139???)
#1

Hello everyone
I have a Philco round top radio. The only number I can find is 38-1139 this number is under the chassis. Is this the model number I cannot find anything about it on the internet. Nostalgia does not have it listed.
It has 0ne 80, one 42, and two 77 tubes. I can get the 470 KC tuned ok but I cannot get a broadcast signal thru. It has a "gimmick" type coupling between the osc and the det and I am not sure if that is working, it was unwound when I started to work on it. The radio seems to be a copy of a Philco 37-84 but the tube lineup is very different. Does anyone have any info on this??

Thanks Joe
