philco 42-395
#1

Hi I just registered Jan. 6th
The question I have probably has been brought up before.
I have a philco 42-395 that I want to get up and going. The cabinet is in pretty good shape for it's age,just some minor nics. The escutcheon, as with almost all units in that era is cracked and warped. It is a 10 button. I contacted Larry Bordonaro and found out the reason he has never made a mold for the 10 button is due to the low demand, and it wouldn't be cost effective to make a mold. I have a feeling that trying to find a good used one would be a challenge if even possible. Any guidence from anybody in the forum would be greatly appreciated. They can email me crflash1@southslope.net .
Thanks Looking forward to reading and learning Bart

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
