Tube,

Your set is a 1941 model year set, hence the 41- prefix in the model number.
Philco started doing this in the 1937 model year and continued this practise until the end.

Your set takes a single A-B type battery with the stanard offset 4-pin socket familiar to Bill BatteryMaker.
Don't have the Philco battery number here at work, but have the info at home.
Maybe Bill has the info too?

Chuck
