philco consoles with back covers
#1

Hey guy's,
I picked up a 38-3xx console the other day and the thing had a full back cover. Original with all the Philco garb on it.
I have never seen a back cover(full) on a late 30's philco console.
Anyone else seen one of these?
I have a 35 philco model 16x with a back cover on the speaker portion.
I thought it was interesting that this 38-3xx also had the original price tag of $129.50 hanging inside.
SOmeone called me up today and offered me a 37-650 in mint condition other than it has not been plugged in for years.
I saw pics of this one and it is mint original finish.
Picked up a really nice 37-675 last week, so I guess I will be working on Philco's for a while.

Congrats. I wish my 38-1 had its back. The swivel clips are about half there.

As far as I am aware, all 1938 Philco "XX" consoles had backs originally.

I'd try replacing the bulb first and if that doesn't do it, then change the 35Z5 and see if the problem goes away.NostalgiaRadioTime — 12:28 AM
