I've got a question that I've never seen any discussion about: On the unrestored 40-155, pictured above, you can see a white/light colored speaker mounting screw head. The other two screw heads are dark. I've seen other Philcos in the same configuration. At first I thought the paint had rubbed off on the screw head, but I've seen several radios like this. I've got a 39-30 with the same thing, one light screw head at the bottom and two dark ones above it. Is there something to all this? Bob Andersen's restoration of his 39-30 had the same thing. It's not keeping me up nights, but I am curious.
