Philco 40-150
#1

This Philco 40-150 followed me home! Normally, I'm not a big fan of the slide rule dial radios, but I got it for next to nothing and it is very clean. Also I've read that this model is a good performer so, here it is! The good news is that it's complete and clean and all but the 7G7 tube tests good. the bad news is the usual bad rubber coated wiring and disintergrating pushbuttons. It looks to have been serviced back in 1948. The finish is so-so, the decals around the knobs are all badly worn. Does anyone know which are the correct decals to use for this model? Seeing as we are still freezing up here in Wisconsin, I will probably take the time to do a complete resto of this one.
