Hi All,

I'm very new to Philco and Vintage Radios having just gotten a taste with a 46-1201 I'm learning things on. That said, my curiosity has gotten me interested in other Philco combo models.

I found a 42-1010 on sale for $150 on the C-List and was wondering if:

• Is this a "Point of Light" phonograph?
  
• Is $150 a good price, given the amount of work, time parts, needed to get it back to health?
  

I like a challenge (as that's the best way to learn), but I also don't wan't "Mission Impossible" at least not at my level.

Here are a few pics:

The only thing I know about it is what is posted, and that it is "complete" and comes with extra tubes. That vagueness may or may not be a sign of bad things. The LP on the turntable also makes me wonder if this had been modernized at some point before it was retired to dustier places.

Thanks all!

PS - My other "interest" would be this for $145, where no restoration has been done and the owner "believes" it to be functional. While not a phono combo, it's nice looking enough to allow me to negotiate with the Mrs to make room for it! .
