After fighting with myself for the last month, I rearranged the cellar again and made enough room for the Philco 42-400. I went and got it today. I brought three radios with me to try and do some trading to get the price down. He also has a grandmother clock that needs some help so I brought that back also to work on. At this point no $$ has changed hands so I am happy!!
Here are some pics:

I have done a polish on the cabinet and it doesn't look too bad. I need to pull the speaker board to get the bottom of the louvers good and clean.The chassis is absolutely filthy, BUT remarkably the wiring is in excellent condition. According to paper labels on the tubes and chassis this was actually serviced here in Claremont by Hodge Radio and TV repair in 1948. The place still stands where the shop was.
I do have a question.....the dial lights and the cabinet lights are not the same. two are 44's and two are 47's. The Philco RMS book only lists one part number for both, so should they be 44 or 47?
It's a GOOD DAY
