It wouldn't be uncommon the find that there are different run numbers with slight modification, mechanical and electrical. Sometime noted in the Rider's manual but the best is to get the Philco service info from Chuck at The Philco Repair Bench. Philco was pretty good about keeping their service techs informed on the changes.

Did the 41-290 originally have a vented back panel?
I'm pretty sure it didn't. Philco didn't use back panels over the receiver part of the console cabinet. Some of the higher end sets had a cover over the spkr area like the inclined spkr board sets and '690 sets as a baffle. Both of these are older sets from the 30's.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!
