I've always liked the looks of the wood art deco radios and recently bought a couple of Philcos - a 38-12, 38-620 and a 48-250 Transitone....with the hope of restoring them....in my spare time. Got the 48-250 working by re-capping. I grew up withoneof these on our kitchen snack bar ...so was xcited that I got it working. Started on the 38-12and it really needs help...power tranformer primary open, field coil measures 70 ohms, audio output transformer...open primary.

My question.....I have a Rider's for the 38-12...but no specs are given for these components. Is it possible to find the specs for these to find modern equivalents...or do you just hunt around for other models that use the same parts and hope to find good ones..? Don't want to give up...but not sure how to proceed.

Thanks for your help
