Philco
Model 38-690XX, 1938.
This is the 20 tube successor of the previous
year’s hi-fi console, the 37-690X.
The cabinet was updated with a roll-top design and
the new Philco slanted
“NO SQUAT, NO STOOP, NO SQUINT” feature.
The electronics were updated with new push-pull beam
power output and redesigned magnetic tuning.
The tube compliment had a few changes from the ’37
model, most notably a pair of 6L6G’s replaced the 6B4G’s
from the previous year.
It might be my imagination, but I believe the 37-690X
sounds better than this supposedly “improved” model. |
