Hi

I recently finished a 48-482. I've heard horror stories about this chassis and how difficult they are to service. Fortunately, I had no such issues. I had to replace about four or five tubes, including the oddball FM 1000 tube which was dead in this set. Once it was replaced, though, FM came to life loud and clear!

The first Philco radios to include FM were made in the 1942 season. However, they tuned the old FM band (42 to 50 mc). The first Philcos to use the modern FM band (88-108 mc) were made in the 1946 season (46-480 and 46-1213).
