I have recently inherited a Philco 41-265 console radio. I am very happy to have it and would like to show it some love to get it in a working condition.

The cabinet need only one minor repair. Other than that is shows the charm from years of use (I LOVE IT!) Even has the speaker and antenna in it.

The radio is where I run into trouble. I am missing the following things:
  • All knobs
  • Buttons and button assembly
  • Needle for the dial
  • Power cable

The radio seems to have had some batteries added to it (Idonno). Also, with the needle being missing, so is the wire on the pulleys for moving it.

Where do I begin? I need some help as I have never done this before. Is there a good source for parts? Is there anyone in Southern California willing to mentor me a bit? (I'm in Palmdale)

Thanks much.
