OK, bring it over....
#1

I'm guessing many of you have found yourself in a similar situation...when friends find out you work on antique radios, they seem to find one of their own that needs fixing and "can you take a look at it?" Well, this guy said he had a Zenith, which is not my area of interest but I agreed to see what I could do. Lo and behold it wasn't a Zenith, but a Philco! So my enthusiasm for the project naturally grew by leaps and bounds. I just finished it tonight and am waiting for him to pick it up tomorrow. Before it goes....and before the withdrawal symptoms set in....I took a few pics. Here it is...a 41-265. A rather smallish console, but a strong performer. Biggest challenge...outside of crumbling wire... was restringing the dial cord that controls the band switch selector light. Getting that to line up just right was a bit of a chore. Luckily the off / on pushbutton still functions as it should. I know these are notoriously troublesome.
