I happened to mention to a friend that I had acquired an old Philco radio (a 39-45) and was planning on restoring it. He said "hey, I've got a old radio of some kind in the barn. Do you want it?". To make a long story short, in the space of a week I am now the owner of two old Philco radios - the 39-45 and now a 41-285. The new radio is complete with cabinet, no back(did they have backs?), and a speaker that has been "repaired" with what looks like masking tape.

I think this one is going to be about the same amount of work as the first one, but at least all the push buttons are there.

Any thoughts?
