Is $150 for a 42-1010 Worth It?
#1

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. Icon_lol 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! Icon_lol.
