Congratulations on your acquisition. The 42-1009 is the same as the 42-1008 on the inside, but it is "dressed up" in a much fancier cabinet.

Your set does not have its original Beam of Light record changer. These can be found, but the 1942 changers can be a PITA to restore properly. I suggest leaving it to West-Tech Services if you find one. They have the capability to convert these from the troublesome bell drive to 78 rpm (only) rim drive. Philco knew the bell drive was a mistake, and they even sold kits after WWII to convert the changers to rim drive.
