I certainly do not mean to dissuade you, Pol-Cat, but that radio and its siblings, the 41-250/255/280/285/287, are (in my opinion) the hardest radios to restore that Philco ever made. Tex has already mentioned the rubber-covered wiring. That is what makes this radio so difficult. Beware the wires going to the band switch! Nearly ALL of them are rubber-covered, and if you are not very careful, you could break the band switch! Don't ask me how I know. 
But good luck to you and hopefully it will all work out well. Just take your time, don't take any shortcuts or get in a hurry, and please feel free to ask us here if you run into any problems.
