Advice needed on purchasing a Philco 40-165
#1

Hello,
I have been searching the web most of the day looking for info on the 40-165 floor radio. I found one in excellent cosmetic shape, but is not playing.
Does anyone know the good,the bad and the ugly about this radio style ? I like the smaller size of this radio, I am a beginner to collecting radios. I have
been collecting older (1950 ish) turntables and my interests have expanded to radios. I am going to restore an AA5 radio to learn on before trying this one.
Just wondering how good the shortwave is on this radio, as well as is there any problematic quirks with it ? All advice is appreciated !
Thanks, Dan
