Anybody ever have a Philco that didn't need to be rebuilt?

Fred,
I've got a 42-321 still running on completely original electronics. It's got a couple of non Philco tubes but even the filters are original with no hum. It was a lucky bad picture buy on ebay, great radio, even had a Installing and Operating instruction sheet folded up next to the chassis.
