I was able to compare the antennas online of a Philco 41-280 and Philco 42-380. They are different and do not line up. The 41-280 is a rectangular double wire antenna all the way around, screwing on, at top and bottom. The 42-380 is a rectangular 4 wire antenna all the way around, but "tapers at the bottom". Bottom line, the 41-280 will not fit in the 42-380 cabinet unless wire/cabinet adjustments are made!! So I am still looking for a 42-380 antenna. I want to keep it original. I will trade the 41-280 antenna for a 42-380 antenna. If I cannot find an interested party, I will keep it as a spare for the 41-280 I have. I am currently restoring 3 Philco radios simultaneously; 39-31XF, 41-280 and my 42-380.
