No, I don't like to rewire sets with rubber-covered wiring...but if you're going to collect 1939-1942 Philcos, it goes with the territory, unfortunately.

Besides, after completely rewiring a 41-616 - which is a monster - I think I can tackle any Philco with rubber-covered wiring.

Thanks! Icon_biggrin

Yes, I have a wire rack shelving unit in my home office, on which I have all of my prewar Tropics on display (including two Canadian equivalents thereof). I did not want to mar the original textured wall in here, so I opted for the free-standing shelving unit instead.

And I agree with you re: the slow post-Christmas Mouser order. You are correct, it did not ship until the 26th. It was sent from Texas to Kansas City. That took four days. Then two more days to make the 237 mile trip from KC to Hazelwood, MO. We shall see how long it takes to get from there to here...
