Hey Dan,
Welcome to the phorum!!!
I've got it's little Bro... Same set w/o the pushbuttons.

Your's is in really nice shape!! Mine is a mess! Previous owner painted it w/poly and it's a B..... to remove. Dial is shot. It's a piece of tin foil glued to cardboard. The glue dries out and then the pointer scrapes off the foil. Not pretty.
Philcos from 1939-42 have rubber wiring and is prone to disintegrate and cause shorts. Best to rewire. That's another reason why it's not sought after set. Great project for someone starting off and give good performance once it is serviced.
Front panel is photofinish. DON'T use paint strippers on it it will destroy the wood looking grain.
Could be a nice little winter project !!!
