Hi
1. Translucent wine pushbuttons are correct for 1940 model Philco sets with eight pushbuttons. As they age, they lose their translucence (sp?), and take on a dull brown appearance before they begin to rot away - an unfortunate result of the unstable Tenite plastic used at the time.
2. No opinion.
3. Yes, a variable NON-ISOLATED AC source.
Regarding the green tube. I have never seen nor heard of such a thing in this series of Philco radios (40-150/155/180/185/190). Can you show photos, please?
