You are definitely making good progress.

I had never heard of "photofinish" until today.

The chassis on your radio looks identical to the one in my 41-250. It seems that every part has the Philco name and part number. I will replace all of the wiring, and all of the capacitors, but will save the old stuff in a little bag stapled inside of the cabinet.
