Hello- I'm new here, and to be brutally honest, I would probably be lucky to even clean a radio chassis without ruining it, let alone attempt a repair. I've had a Philco 41-295 (?) that my great grandparents bought new for about 35 years now. Although it quit working sometime ago (from lack of use, would be my guess) I am SOMEWHAT familiar with Philcos. I've recently saved an old 39-40 from a trip to the landfill, and after soldering in a new power cord and replacing a few missing tubes from my "used tube grab bag" I got the old gal to work. It's missing the pushbuttons, but is otherwise complete. I was disappointed to discover that for whatever the reason, the on/off switch was no longer the extreme left- hand pushbutton (like the one I've had so long), but rather a semi- hidden toggle switch. I don't have a clue where the switch's wires were originally connected, but if someone here could clue me in, I'd like to try and attempt the repair and ditch the toggle switch. If I get that far, I'd also like to acquire some pushbuttons and refinish the cabinet, as well. Sorry for such a rambling first post, but I'm not much of a writer. Thanks, - Betruger-
