Philco 41-296 cabinet restoration thoughts
#1

Hello, I am new to the forum and potentially new to old radio restoration.  I recently purchased a 41-296 cabinet because I liked the way the old cabinet looked.  It has a chassis inside but is missing the speaker.  I think all other parts are still intact as it has all the knobs, buttons, and the glass dial piece on the front all in good condition.  

I have seen a lot of posts about a 41-285 chasis in the 41-296 cabinet.  I am confused as to what the differences between the more popular 41-285 chassis and a 41-296 chassis might be.  Could someone clarify if I could these units use the same chassis, or how big the differences are?  From the pictures I have seen, they look very similar!

All of the tubes are present in the chassis I have, but the wires have been cut to the speaker connection.  

I am trying to assess how diffiult/expensive it may be to restore.

thanks,

Michael
