Brought a Philco 38-62 home tonight
#5

A table radio with a power transformer! Reminds me of Australian tube radios, Australia pretty much mandated that radios have power transformers. As they use 230VAC instead of 115VAC, the shock hazard is significantly higher. And tube manufacturers never did come out with a line of tubes for running off a series string off 230V. They did make 26V heater tubes for the pentagrid converter 26D6, the IF stage 26A6 and detector/audio driver 26BK6, but no 100L6 or 70Z5.
