That's what I thought, but I wanted to get a second opinion. I've re-done a 40-201, which is very similar underneath, but it has a much more elegant tapped BC resistor handling the bias duties. I wonder why Philco moved away from that design to individual carbon resistors around the power supply? Cheaper, I suppose, but better? I don't know. The 40-201 and 41-295 seem comparable in many ways. I guess I'll get my chance to decide which one is actually better. I will say that the paper-covered tuned oval "muffler" antenna on the 40-201 is FANTASTIC! It not only pulls in distant stations loud and clear (I'm listening to the Rockies in extra innings against the Red Sox on KOA, Denver, while I'm in Minneapolis), but it also does a superior job of nulling noise and unwanted signals. Does the 41-295 built-in loop work as well? I don't know because mine came in D.O.A.

I'm curious to hear opinions on the subject.

Mike
