I don't notice a lot of difference between the 41-295 and the 40-190 and I far prefer the 190 cabinet. Yes, both are a far cry from the 37-116.

It seems that the years between 1940 and the early 50's were a era where, besides a war, were focused on price rather than performance. The new gadgets, FM and TV were good enough just to have.
