Philco 38-4 chassis ith no speaker
#1

Hi all,

I just joined the site an am looking forward to learning a lot about these old Philcos. I had a 38-4 in my cellar when I was 10 years old. It worked great. Just picked up a chassis that needs recapping and a speaker. I changed the power cord and all the tubes light up and I measured the two terminals on the plug for the speaker that are closer together, ( they measure approx. 350V) Can someone tell me how to convert this to a PM speaker? Also, does anyone know the correct illumination lamp that plus into the back of the dial? Alos where to get ot would be good to know too. ((is teh elctromagnet for the speaker also called the Field Coil?) Thanks for your help with these questions. I also have a Philco portable radio that plays great but has a little hum to it. I', using the AC line because I don't think they make the batteris for it anymore.
Dennis

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
