Interesting, it uses the Philco "Beam of Light" record changer and a ten tube chassis, but I think that the tenth tube was a preamplifier for the phonograph pickup. The set should be very similar to a 41-285 which is like a model 41-280 but has a proper phase inverter in the audio amplifier. Do you have any experience with soldering/desoldering, replacing components, wires, etc? These sets used rubber covered wire that has a habit of becoming rock hard, so once you start replacing capacitors you may disturb some of it and cause the insulation to flake off. These aren't the worst sets to work on but they are not what I would call a beginner's project, it may be worth finding some help through a local radio club if you can. I was looking in the gallery and noticed that there is only an illustration from what must be an old Philco factory catalog, but no actual photos of a real set, would you mind taking a few pictures of yours and either posting them on here or submitting them to Ron Ramirez?
Regards
Arran
