No kidding, and Philcos are quite plentiful here as I'm sure they are there. They still used one or two in the early 40s consoles, but that 38-3 you had....I had one of those and I never restored the sucker.

It was probably 15-20 years ago when I had it....back before I got heavy into TVs I had a basement packed with Philco consoles. Sold them all in one lot to Radio Daze, and shifted to TVs after that.
