philco radio modernizing customization project DONE!
#11

Yes, that set is a 41-285X:

You can get the escutcheon and knobs from Old-Time Replications, I believe. I have to say "I believe" because Old-Time Replications' proprietor has suffered from serious health issues this year.

He won't have the screws that hold the escutcheon in place, nor the brass strip that is applied to the lower part of the escutcheon, between the pushbutton holes and knob holes. The screws can be found at a good hardware store - correct me if I'm wrong, somebody, but I think the screws are #2 (?) wood screws, about 1/8 inch long, Phillips pan head.

The brass strip will have to be obtained from a similar 1941 Philco with a bad escutcheon (and 99.9% of them are bad, as the originals were made of Tenite - a type of plastic that shrinks and warps over time).

One more thing. Do not, ever, ever plug an old radio in until it has been thoroughly checked out for signs of trouble!

Please read these pages for more info.
