41-608 Transformer - cougar01 - 03-26-2018

Is there a place to get a replacement transformer for the Model 41-608 with BOL Record Player?

Also have an off-topic question.    Did all tabletop radios come with a back cover?  I have a Philco 37-84, and a Zenith that don't have one...but not sure if they originally did, but lost over time.....or if back covers weren't necessarily "standard" from model to model, manufacturer to manufacturer.

Welcome to the Phorum!

Many radios, both table top and console, never had back covers.

Welcome!
I happen to know a guy who is pretty keen on those '608 BOL jobs. Don't know if he has any spares but I'm sure he'll be posting soon.

LOL! Yeah, I saw that eBay listing before. I paid less than that for the whole radio!

Are the transformers the same for Chassis 121 and Chassis 122? I know the pre-amp is 7C7 in the 121 and 7C6 in the 122 (with slightly different circuits), but am assuming the transformers are the same?
