Jerry those are some nice looking radios, especially the 38-116. I also have a 38-116 that someone did a restore on in the past (not the best, but not a butcher job) but I am sure my wife will not let me touch it to redo the cabinet. My next project is a 38-2, a nice rare 38 model with magnetic tuning. The 690 was the top dog for 38, then the 116, then the 38-1 followed by the 38-2, an 11 tube unit with 2 PP 6F6G tubes. It it turns out half as nice as the ones you have posted I will be happy. On the 38-116 is that black/ebony on the belt molding and the feet?
