Ok, I bought this radio (40-165) I am going to work on a few AA5 radios before taking on this one. But in the meantime I want to start collecting info (which seems hard to find, based on this post) Is the Book "Philco Radio 1928-1942: A Pictoral History Of The World's Most Popular Radios" a good place to start ? or does this cover to big a range of radios to help me ? Just collecting info on this radio, I enjoying learning about my projects before diving in. I have read posts on this forum about the rubber wire's, sounds like fun ! I plan on replacing all rubber wires and capacitors. Just collecting info, all help is appreciated.
