Hey Arran,
I have one of the Canadian versions of Bob's set, a 39-330AT. It has the cabinet of a 39-25 and the six-tube chassis of a 39-30, but only has six pushbuttons.
The only rubber-covered wires in the 39-330AT were the IF transformer leads. All the rest of the wiring, including the power transformer leads, are cloth-covered.
My little Canadian 39-3A1 Bakelite table model is the same way - all cloth wiring except for the IF cans.
I recently acquired another Canadian Philco - a model 39 which is identical to a Philco Tropic 41-722. I have not yet looked at its chassis, but I suspect I will find cloth wiring in it as well. I hope so, anyway.
Bob, that is a neat table model and you will enjoy it when you have it finished. My 39-330AT has the same tube lineup as yours. Mine plays quite well on a good longwire.
