Here is a short spiel relating my experiences restoring a 41-255.

Ron pretty much covered it all. If you have difficulty aligning the push buttons try replacing the 370pf mica cap numbered 21 and 21B in the Rider schematic. It is a dual cap and I am not sure it really is a mica cap. I have found them bad in a couple of radios of this design and vintage.
Like Ron said, it is a LOT of work but a nice radio when working properly.
