Hi John:
I'm also rebuilding a floor model, 42-380.
http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=2307 I've gotten quotes on cabinet refinishing, less the photo finish for around $300 to $350.
After the work you have put in yours would you recommend doing yourself or taking it to someone?
Just curious.
On a side note, I was at the Raleigh RAR's hamfest today looking for tubes and/or a tube tester. Didn't see any testers worth while, (one old heathkit in severe disrepair) but I did discover several sources for tubes. I think I could restore and retube about 20 or 30 radio's for the price of a decent tube tester. Most of the tube places also test prior to ship.

Good Luck and thanks for posting the pictures,
Russ
