I neeeeed opinions..
#3

42-1012
Pluses
If you have to have a BOL the '42 is the one to get.
Has FM 50 band so may be able to pick some FM stations.
Has bcb and a sw band too.
Cabinet looks pretty good,can't tell if it has been refinished.

Negatives
Seems like consoles getting hard to pass along unless there something pretty special.
Lot of rubber wire.
Loctal tubes, can be a bit finicky to get going.
Mechanical pushbutton, require a good cleaning and obscure circuits mounted under them on the chassis.
May have a pb off/on switch pain to replace.


Sure there are more on both sides these just came to mind.
Have never own a Philco with a BOL.

Terry
