I have a good friend, and we have been having quite a bit of heated talks about two radios in question. I have a Philco 38-116. As I write this the radio is on and I am enjoying it. My friend has a Philco  37-116. He insists the quality of his radio is such a bit better. I do not know about that but I love the cabinet style of the 38-116 better! I believe both radios must be close in listening pleasure for sure. But I know the cabinet of the 38 is more beautiful. With the slanted front and the wood tones. Help me with the fight! Let me know guys what you think. The 38-116 must be the winner!  Icon_wave Icon_wave
