Seriously, that could be an awesome radio, properly restored. I've restored a nearly identical set, a Model 41-300, and now have one of my own and I think it's great! You really should go for that set, especially if it's a local pickup for you.
The only difference between the 41-295 and 41-300, besides the cabinets, is one less tube in the 295. The 295 uses a 7C6 as second detector/AVC/1st audio. The 300 uses two tubes in this circuit; a 7A6 dual diode as second detector/AVC, and a 7C6 as 1st audio. Padding the tube count, really, as both should play equally well.
