The 41-280 is, in my opinion, the hardest Philco there ever was to work on due to the extensive use of rubber-covered wiring. The fact that a number of these wires are connected to the band switch in this model doesn't help.

If you want a console, follow Doug's advice and find a good Model 16 instead.

That's one man's opinion. YMMV...

Ron,

You probably just saved many hours of future frustration for me. This man has restored the radio, and he guarantees his work. I haven't asked him about the rubber-covered wiring. I think I may hold off on that radio. If I do decide to look into this radio, I now know to check to see if the rubber covered wiring has been replaced, recovered, etc.

I've read the many horrors of this model. I just didn't know what the radio actually looked like!

Thanks for your insight!
