My vote is for the 41-250 chassis and its variations (41-255/280/285/287/290). Hardest Philco (IMHO) to work on; not only do you have the rubber-covered wiring headaches, but the closely spaced three section band switch with all of those rubber-coated wires going to the various sections of that switch virtually guarantees one must disassemble the switch to get to all of the wires.
I used to try and pull the rubber coating off the wires as they went into the switch assembly...until I broke a wafer in the switch assembly. Thereafter, I found it safer (for me, anyway) to disassemble the switch.
It takes a LOT of hours to redo one of these. Too many, I think.
