Mike;
Since it's a 1948 model, Philco had probably switched to more modern vinyl wire covered wire by then for everything rather then mixing and matching with the rubber/gutta percha covered wire. About the only shortcoming regarding later Hippo production was the introduction of those mini IF cans on some production runs with the junk silver mica caps inside.
