This has been a terribly rough week for me. In case you do not know:

On Tuesday, I made myself resume work on my 41-758, although my heart really wasn't in it.

So I did not take any pictures of the progress in the work.

I found the work to be therapeutic; it helped take my mind off things. So, overall, it was probably good that I continued to work on this radio.

Tonight, I finished the radio except for restringing the dial cord. Here it is, on the bench, playing:

Notice how nice and bright the dial is.

There is good reason for that...

These are the warm white LED lamps with miniature bayonet bases and flexible leads that I have mentioned before.

These really dress up a Philco slide rule dial...in my opinion.

Here is the under-chassis view, with all new (restuffed) paper caps, restuffed electrolytics, and mostly new resistors:

Oh, yes, and 95% new wiring.

Work that remains to be done: Restring the dial cord, find or acquire a dial pointer, and perform a complete alignment.
