Yes - if you remove everything from the 41-280 cabinet, it should all fit in the 42-380 cabinet.

You can't use a 42-380 escutcheon with a 41-280 chassis and vice versa, though, because the 41-280 has 8 pushbuttons and the 42-380 has 9.

Bob has alrady given you some good advice on cleaning the knobs and pushbuttons here.

Thanks for the info on switching out chassis, and also Bob's info on the buttons.  I've worked on the buttons and they improved, but do show considerable wear.  Will have to get "new" ones from http://www.renovatedradios.com/parts.html.  Do you know if there is more than one type for the 1941 consoles (41-280 and/or 42-380), that is, long, short, etc.???

Also re the band below the buttons, is that copper?  I saw the advice about not using Brasso on it....
  Thanks!!
~Debra
