Today I was reading the classifieds in our local paper to find a Philco console radio for sale for $100. Curious, I called on the radio and inquired as to what model it was. The seller checked and said it is a 41-260 that is in good shape and working. Guess his wife got it and is now not in love with it anymore. Anyways, I wasn't sure I wanted it because I have a nice 40-165 that works well and really both look to be the same radio except that the cabinet on the 41-260 might be a bit different and it appears to be a 7 tube chassis. Was one radio better than the other or is the performance the same?
No matter where you go, there you are.
