Two beautiful radios,Ron. Great find. Is the 38-690 a restore, a rebuild or......... just leave it the heck alone and enjoy?

Both (37-690 & 38-690) are working radios...but I am thinking seriously about finding some old Philco paper caps, restuffing them and installing in the 38-690. It's worth the extra effort.
