I have a small collection of Philco portables. The plastic on the 41 models seems to hold up a little better than the 42. The 41 color is a little darker. Maybe the color pigment might be the reason. Most of my radios are in good shape because I've had them for a long time and they're always under climate control. It's what you find today that's pretty bad. I recently bought a 41-85. The 3 knobs are perfect but the escutcheon looks like Salcatore Dali created it. If I can find a good plastic panel in any color I'll buy it.
