Hi falcon123! I restored a 48-482 some years ago. They are an EXCELLENT radio once you get them squared away, but they can be a fussy radio to work on, especially aligning the IF. It can be done by following the instructions in the Philco repair documents carefully. Here is a link to my thread on restoring mine... it was the first radio I wrote about on here. https://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthrea...ght=48-482
