It should be a nice sounding radio because I think the 41's were in a PP arrangement for the output.

Hi,

I thought the 41-280 did have the FAUX strips on each side of the grille? I have a 40-180 set aside awaiting restoration and it definitely doesn't have the FAUX wood. It needs cabinet and electrical work but somehow I've never felt any great zest to get to it.

All three models (40-180, 41-280 and 42-380) can be seen on this page at the radioattic http://radioatticarchives.com/archive_p2.htm
