New to Phorum and a Philco 38
#13

That is correct. I've owned a few model 38 sets over the years; all of them had the socket for the #6 ballast, but all had a removable heavy jumper wire across the filament pins of that socket. The stickers on the back of the chassis indicated "CHASSIS TYPE 38" and not "38A".
