New Dilemma - Need Help Again!
#1

Hello everyone.  Last week I acquired another Philco console, a 40-180.  I also have a 41-280 console.  I plan to completely restore both, then put one in my collection and gift the other to a friend.  Both have similar cabinets.  Both are in similar condition chassis and cabinet wise.  The question is ... which one would you keep?  Did either set have any attributes (or flaws) that set it apart from the other?  The 40-180 has a wider band range is the only obvious difference.  Did one years' technology make that much of a difference in their performance?  As always your help is truly appreciated.  Take care, Gary
