Difficulty level in restoring 38-3xx
#6

Tony the 38-3 chassis would look a lot like my 38-2 chassis, maybe a bit smaller (less 2 tubes) but the basic design and layout is the same. My 38-2 chassis cleaned up decently but my 38-1 chassis is even better but I don't have pictures of it up yet. It went this way, 38-1 (12 tubes) 38-2 (11), 38-3 (9) 38-4 (8 and concentric dial) 38-116 (15) 38-690 (20). I have all the versions of this type of tuning for 1938 and I also have the 37-11 which has the same style tuning arrangement.
