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.

Hi Stephen. Your radio has exactly the same electronics as that of the 41-280. The only main difference is the 12" woofer and the cabinet..

And like you, until Ron mentioned 'photo finish', I had no idea about it. But on second thought, it makes perfect sense, where money is concerned. And it is quite ingenious in fact. Just think: print a wood grain effect, and then use inks and oils to touch it up. Then apply and finish. Amazing! I'm going to play around with this way of touching up wood.

Actually I have lots of veneer that I could use for this console, but by using the photo finish, I could use the very same finish on the second console of this series that I plan to obtain and use at the second enclosure for my future tube audio speaker system.
