Question for Ron, shadowmeter escutcheon differences?
#1

.... just purchased a Philco Mod 38-09A Radio from a canadian eBay seller. Nice radio in working condition, and got it at a fair price indeed! It has a Philco "shadowmeter" type escutcheon I need to complete a retro-fit for a Philco 37-630 chassis into a Philco 37-610 shouldered tombstone cabinet I also recently purchased.( Trying to please the Wife to restore her orig family-heirloom Philco chassis only 37-630 missing X shadowmeter dial cabinet, into something fully-functional with shadowmeter). Those will "retrofit" as we asertained before. The eBay photos of the orig Philco 38-09A I just purchased from Canada, clearly shows the shadowmeter viewing-slot in the photos. However, when I looked at Chucks site, I noticed the Philco 38-09A model was not listed as having a shadowmeter. Perhaps their are "differences" in US & Canadian models that also had shadowmeters?? Sure hope the canadian 38-09A shadowmeter escutcheon assy will fit my 37-610 cabinet? Oh well, if not, I will have plenty "spare Philco parts" to share here in the future if anyone needs em!!
