My Philco 38-116
#1

I took off right after work yesterday afternoon to buy this 38-116 in PA for $75. Guy seemed plenty nice and was around my age with two nice restored vintage cars and a small vintage TV collection he is working on. According to him, this radio was found in a home where it had sat in the basement since the 1950's. Seems about right as it appears the original electrolytic cans were removed and replaced in the late 40's, early 50's. The spearker was a bit loose like someone had tried to remove it at the same time the acoustic clarifiers disappeared. Not knowing how to remove the speaker safely and not able to see the bolts, I opted to pad the back of my Jimmy and transport the radio home face down. I have the speaker tightened up, but would like to know how to pull it from the cabinet safely. Now, onto cabinet pictures for this post. Next post will be the chassis.

   

   

   

   

No matter where you go, there you are.
