I have a 42-322 that is still working on all the original caps and electrolytics that I bought for $10 about 5-6 years ago. This is a good little table radio by Philco, though most have cabinets that look well used around here, mine included. Mine was my 'daily driver' when I was working afternoons at work. I'd come home, turn it on, and often leave it on all night as I slept during the winter. Only tip I can offer right now is this: if your radio seems to turn off and on by itself, check the output tube and/or the rectifier tube. Mine was acting strange and haunted one night, turned out the output tube had burnt out the filament from age and use. Radio would slowly lose power, then would come back on slowly a minute later.
No matter where you go, there you are.
