It's the best table model radio USA Philco had to offer in the 1940 season (not counting Tropic models which were made for export anyway), and is basically the same chassis as the 40-190 console. Other than the usual warnings about the need to replace rubber-covered wiring, I say that if you really like it, you should go for it. If you can handle rubber-covered wire replacement, you will have a very good, very sensitive radio once properly restored.
