Dear friends,
I have just uploaded pictures of my 5-38 which is different in design that shows the picture here in RMorg. In John Slusser's Collector's Guide To Antique Radios there is a mention about 2 styles of 5-38. Should I suppose my 5-38 is an earlier design and was it made in 1925? I found escutcheons are close to 1925 production styles. Its chassis No is H 5495 and schematic is slightly different. I tried to find more information on internet with no success. Maybe our american colleagues answer this question.
Thanks
Ed
