Philco 40-195 bought - advice needed
#4

I stripped the cabinet today. It is one of my favorite console radios. I like the slanted control panel, the brass escutcheon (better than plastic), and the fact that the inlay is real, not photofinish. It was not the start of the restoration, as I had ordered the reproduction grillecloth, push buttons, and chassis corner supports long ago. The rubber wiring replacement on it will be easier than on some other radios I've done, as the chassis does not seem as crowded as those other radios. By the way (see the thread on it) it took me three days to change the rubber wiring, capacitors, resistors, and output transformer on that 41-250 I mentioned in the post above from March of 2008.
