I am working on a 42-321. If the refinished cabinet did not looks so nice, I probably would have thrown it out by now. I had to replace all of the rubber wiring. I only get one station, the strongest local one, all across the dial. It would be helpful to have an accurate schematic to debug it, but the Rider's one is some sort of generic version for multiple models. Philco also liked to change things with run numbers. Does anyone have something better than the rider's schematic? I've rewired more complex radios, but I may have made a mistake, or I could have a bad component(s) I have not yet found. The audio is just fine, except for a speaker buzz.
