Philco 38-62 (1938)
(wood tube table radio)

Philco 38-62 (1938)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Bold Art Deco styling is prevalent on this five-tube, AM/Police band Philco. Cabinet is nicely refinished, however the previous owner sanded off the Philco faux finish on the front panel. So I recreated as best I could using various toners, and a little poetic license! While retaining the original patterns in the original dimensions, my new incarnation is bolder and more colorful. A real eye catcher! New reproduction grille cloth. Original dial scale has a (reinforced) crack and a dark spot but still is legible. New 8-inch PM speaker to replace the destroyed original. New volume control, band switch, plus all filter and paper capacitors replaced along with out of tolerance resistors. Tubes all tested good. Plays loud and strong with a minor low volume background hum due to the original output transformer coupled with the new PM speaker. Requires its long wire to be attached to an external antenna source to receive stations. Or use the 3.5mm aux cord to play your own content. 16"W x 10-1/2"H x 9"D.
