This new Philco's styling was reminiscent of the larger "bullet" sets the company had produced during the 1936, 1937 and 1938 seasons such as Models 610T, 37-610T, 38-620T, etc. The 41-231T used the same chassis as Model 41-226C (the "Sled"), with AM and shortwave coverage (540-1720 kc and 9-12 mc respectively). Electronic pushbutton tuning was another feature the 231T offered.

MODEL 41-246T

This new Philco model looks identical to a Model 41-245T. The difference is in its frequency coverage - the 246T receives AM and shortwave from 9 to 12 and 15 to 18 mc. Like the 245T, the 246T uses seven tubes and operates from 115 volts, AC only.
