Hi Perry and welcome,
A few notes on the 41-295/300. Probably going to need to replace some of the failing rubber coated wire. The volume and tone controls knobs are a little tricky to remove as they turn a gear on the end of the shaft of the controls. Those gears are welded on so it may make replacement a little laborious. If you have to clean the volume control be sure to use the proper cleaner. The tube sockets are phenolic wafer sockets and are not that great in terms of hv insulation hence the arcing and burning. There's abt 900vac across the two thin pins (2&3) of the 80 tube. Better choice would be a molded phenolic socket for the 80 tube.
Here's the original Philco service bulletin: https://philcoradio.com/library/download...20Book.pdf
Decal, the closest thing I could find was this: https://www.radiodaze.com/philco-10-decals-dcl-ph7/
We do have station tabs for the 1939 set here: https://philcoradio.com/library/index.ph...n-tab-call- letter-kit/ Obviously it's not going to have any post '39 callsigns listed. May be able to resize to fit if they don't.

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!
