38-10 Bullet Restore
#2

With the exception of sets such as the 37 and 38-116, 37-675, 37 and 38-690, 37-9, 37-10, 37-11, 38-1, 38-2 and 38-3...Philco did not start using decals above the various knobs to indicate their function until the 1939 model year...and then only on the more expensive sets, not the cheap five-tube jobs.

The 38-10 would not have had any decals above the knobs; only the PHILCO decal.

Be sure you use a PHILCO decal from Antique Electronic Supply. The Radio Daze decal looks nothing like the original. Hopefully, that will be changing soon...

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
