Philco 42-327 pushbutton - bridkarl - 08-26-2025

I’m needing a pushbutton 54-4125. I looked at renovated radios who sells repro buttons but they don’t list this model.

Has anyone bought such a pushbutton? If so where?

Another question since I cannot find the dial string diagram.
Seems like the string goes up from the spring, across the two sprockets on top, 2.5 turns around the tuning knob and then back to the spring.
It never loops entirely around the tuning dial at any time.

SAMS Photofact for this model will probably have a restringing diagram.

Yes. I’ve just had a hard time finding the right one which I think is 14-30. I will keep looking

I believe SAMS Photofacts didn’t start until the end of the 1940s.
