Philco 41-221 Restored
#4

Hi Rod,

I always tell people that my scars give me character.  Icon_wink   Great job on the radio.  Is the grille original or a replacement?  I repaired a chassis for a 42PT94 for a friend.  His tenite grille was a total mess.  I had a 48-206.  He took my grille (different plastic that did not distort the way that tenite did) and made a mold which he used to mold a new grille for his, including the "marbling" of the original, and returned mine undamaged.  It was his dad's radio and having it back to original condition meant a lot to him.

Best Regards,
