Scored a 41-280x this morning!
#5

Took the first step towards returning this radio to its' glory... ordered a service package from Chuck!  The knobs are all there, dirty, but still usable.  The escutcheon, and push buttons, as you eluded Tom, are toast.  Hard to tell from what's left on the radio.  Did this set use brown or wine colored push buttons?  Speaker is full of dust bunnies, but no tears in it.  The lead wires to it look pretty feeble, though.  The rubber mounting blocks on the chassis corners are past their prime as well.  Time to start making a restoration parts list!  Take care, Gary
