Model 42-854T purchase
#2

Welcome to the Phorum!
Icon_wave
Here's a little info on your model from the Gallery.

A few questions to help gauge the next steps.
1) Do you know if the set has been recapped recently?  If not, that may be the first order of business.  

2) How familiar are you with electronics?  If you are new to this, here's a nice place to start reading: http://www.antiqueradio.org/begin.htm

3) Can you post a picture of the top and underside of the chassis?  That might help us figure out if its been recapped if you don't know.  How to post pics can be found here: http://www.philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=29

A free version of the schematic can be found at: http://www.nostalgiaair.org/pagesbymodel...013562.pdf
but if you need to do anything involving the schematic you may want to order a set from Chuck Schwark for a few bucks.  They will be much easier to read than the free version.  Go to: http://www.philcorepairbench.com/schematics.htm
