Here's a PT95 from 1941/42. I just finished a clean and recap on this set as well as a new AC cord. The original rubber coated wires are still in great condition! I found this set while cleaning out my parents house, I don't even remember when or where I got it. Interesting point of this set is when I pulled the chassis to clean it, I found this receipt from Sept. 1951 neatly folded and stuck between two of the tubes!! It gives the name and town of original owner as well as what was done and how much it cost to repair. There was also a sticker for a "Kidders Radio Service" in Madison WI. in the bottom of the case with an address. I looked up the address on Google Earth and found the building where it was serviced, it appears to be empty now. I really enjoyed finding that stuff! It's not a very exciting set but knowing something about it's history makes it more unique to me, plus it plays well too!
