I was surprised to find no pictures of the model 41-759 listed on Radiomuseum or in the philco gallery. In light of Ron having owned one I expected to find a picture somewhere.
We have a flea market in NH ( NEVEC) coming up a week from Saturday and I was thinking of offering it up for sale. I never even opened it up but I brought it up slowly and the an sounded pretty good so I think I am going to keep for a while yet.
Some radios are hard to part with.

I had a 41-
758, not 759. I can't speak for that other site, but there is a picture of my 758 here in the Library section, The Tropics, 1941 season):

I don't know why that photo didn't make it to the Gallery - likely an oversight.
Oh, and the 41-758 and 41-759 cabinets are identical per
Philco Furniture History.

Funny, I had replied using my cell phone yesterday. Or at least thought I did.
I will go back and check to see if the old eyes failed me again. I may have misread the number. It was the chrome piece in the grill that made think they were the same model..

Well I went to the bench and removed the back to be sure. It is indeed a 41-759. It has 8 tubes and a # 33-3391 ballast tube.
You know I never think to look in the Tropic section for information. You would think I would have learned by now.

I would ask you to please furnish a photo (or photos) to us so an actual 41-759 could be shown in the Gallery.
If Nathan does not see this thread, I will ask him to copy that 758 photo to the Gallery to replace the factory illustration.
Edit: A few years ago, I would likely be trying to talk you out of your set!
But not now. Photos will suffice nicely.

Ron,
I will be glad to add some pictures after I load them to the computer from my phone.Interestingly enough there were multiple tags on the back board.
