42-395 Information
#4

Welcome to the Phorum!!! Lots of helpful folks here as you see in the previous posts. If you are new to restoring vacuum tube radios it may be helpful to read a few things first. Here's some beginners info on Phil's Old Radio site . Be sure to check the rest of this website for information particularly the Knowledge Base and Important Restoration Topics in addition to the Resources info mentioned above. The Philco Repair Bench has a lot of info and if you have trouble reading the Nostalgiaair schematic, Chuck will have the schematic and any updated information that is very clear and the price is very reasonable.

One last note on the 1939 to 1942 models...they are often plagued with rubber coated wiring that has crumbled or will do so as soon as you move it. Here's some tips on that problem.
