I sometime restore sets for other people, but it would completely impractical to ship a chassis to where I am for restoration and return it before Christmas, it would take two weeks to get it here, and two to get it back. I think the regional radio club may be your best bet. The problem is that early 40s Philco sets usually need some amount of rewiring, and they also often need a new output transformer, this is on top of the usual stuff like capacitors, resistors, and weak tubes, so it would take more lead time then 60 days even if you were down the street from me.
