Hello everyone today I just picked up at a local antique mall a Philco Model 42-350 AM/FM/SW radio that is in excellent condition yet, I is going to need some work though as its going to need a restringing done with the dial, and some electrical work like capacitors and what not replaced.
I was wondering how hard it would be to re-tune the IF/tuner on this radio so that the FM Band on this radio could pick up the Modern FM Band since it was originally set up to receive the old 42-50 MHz FM Band.
Also How scarce is this model? I saw in the Philco Library that they made this model for only a year (they didn't bring it back for the next model year or anything).
Also I paid $60 for this radio, was that a fair price or was that too much?
Thanks for any info you have.
