My next Philco project is going to be a 41-81T, portable, battery powered radio. I picked it up very reasonably on ePay, which was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting to be outbid. When I received it and opened it, I found that the original Philco battery was still inside ! Even more amazing is that the battery has not leaked, and so I have one with good outside graphics, which I have scanned, so I can make a cover for the replacement battery unit I will make for it. Here are some pictures of it on my work bench.
