I would expect that another range of rare Philco models may be the ones designed to operate from DC power mains only, not AC/DC but DC only. I've been keeping my eyes open for some of the Canadian market only models, there was a console model that had a very similar cabinet to a 40-180, but had 5 bands, it was called a 53-X, how rare they are I can't say, but they look interesting.
