42-380 Restoration Started
#1

There was a Philco 42-380 listed on our local craigslist. The owner wanted $100. The cabinet was peeling and the radio would only play that 60hz tune.... The unit did not sell and after the listing expired I called back to see if he was still interested in selling. He said if I made it over before he went to the dump it was mine. Which I did and it is. I would like to do a complete restoration and add a feature that I think would make it more appreciated. I would like to add an input that could accept an ipod type mini connector so we could get old time radio programs to play through the unit. I noticed a triangle of three plug in holes in the back, doe's anyone know what these are for?
If anyone has a legible schematic it would really help. I went to Nostalgia-air and was able to download one but it's so fuzzy you can't read any values. I'll post pics as it gets completed.
Thanks for this great website.
