A Beginner's Journey: The Philco 40-190
#5

Ron--

Here is the odd green tube that is covering the dial/button lamp:

I've removed the two center buttons for a better view; the tube appears to be snugged down rather firmly over the bulb.

Unfortunately, the front face and the top of the chassis is covered in that rust which you see along the bottom edge of the photo. I'll probably start on the internals by removing that (gently, of course). Like I say, I was told the radio gave the appearance of having lived in a barn for several years when the folks got it for $25.
