Having visited this site on many occasions and having decided to restore a Philco model 42-400 121, I thought I'd try searching this site for information before I ask questions. However, nothing comes up here with that model #. I have found it elsewhere but not here. Am I not searching properly?
I don't usually restore radios. I tend towards vintage record players, stereos, mostly tube type but an aquaintance of mine decided to give up his radio hobby due to advance years and sold me a lot of his testers and parts. He was insistant on my taking a 1935 Airline floor model radio and this Philco. I eventually restored the Airline to much satisfaction and thought I'd start into the Philco. The cabinet is refinished (it really needed it) and of course it's time for the chassis. I like the style and it looks great on my second floor landing. I have the schematics but I'd thought I'd mine this site for information & do's and dont's. Thank you.
