Here is a short spiel relating my experiences restoring a 41-255.
http://home.comcast.net/~suptjud/philco41255.htm

Ron pretty much covered it all. If you have difficulty aligning the push buttons try replacing the 370pf mica cap numbered 21 and 21B in the Rider schematic. It is a dual cap and I am not sure it really is a mica cap. I have found them bad in a couple of radios of this design and vintage.

Like Ron said, it is a LOT of work but a nice radio when working properly.
Kind regards,
Terry
