Two Philcos followed me home
#4

Great acquisitions, Terry - but good luck with that cabinet side on that 41-255! Icon_eek

Wow, it looks like the side of that 41-255 has been sitting under water for a decade or so.

The 40-150 should be an easy restore, other than the usual rubber-covered wiring. Kent, as Terry said, don't let those pushbuttons intimidate you. Pushbuttons are your friends. Icon_smile It is nice to set up certain favorite AM stations and them just push a button and there is a favorite.

The 41-255 will be much more difficult to restore, and not just because of the cabinet problems with yours. The chassis is a real pain. Rubber-covered wiring galore, especially around the band switch which has three sections. Ugh. Icon_confused
