"Mucked up" Philco 41-231
#6

It's not horrible but it is kinda a mess. Any of the Philcos from 1939-42(except made in CA) use rubber wire that over time the rubber cracks and fall off. Some guys really don't like working on these vintage set because of this issue. I would put it back on the shelf till you have some more experience. Being able to read and understand a schematic will be a must on this set. It will also give you some time to save up for all the plastic covered wire you'll need to replace the rubber stuff.
Did you get the 84 working???
