Now to dive in!
#1

This is the radio that played in my great grandfathers Pontiac dealership for many years. I can’t wait to dig in. This has had a lot of repairs done and not original as many would like but I’m gonna try to put it back together. I’m glad to see people are still into old radios. It’s a 41-624, does anyone have one restored?

Welcome!
Not a bad radio. Be careful, it is Ac/DC set without transformer, so some extra being careful while working on the powered unit is needed, preferably with isolation transformer.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Thanks for warning! I’ve worked on a bunch of tube CBs and amateur radio gear so hopefully a receiver and phonograph won’t be too bad.

Welcome! It's great to have a radio with a personal story behind it.

Greetings and welcome!  I believe what you've got is in fact a 41-604P.  Here's a link to it in the Gallery (http://philcoradio.com/gallery2/1941a/#Model_41-604P).

I've got one I'm in the process of repairing, but haven't finished yet.

Here's a link to the schematic: http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/429/M0013429.htm.

The 41-604 is the earlier model, if you look the 41-624 it has the same cabinet. Besides it’s what the sticker on the inside says. You’ve done a great job with yours, hope mine turns out as nicely.

That is a fine looking set, so often the dials run left to right it is a bit different to see a dial that is square and works by pointer turning.
