Just found this forum while doing research for my new winter project.
I stumbled upon this picture of my mother and older brother in 1941. They take 2nd base to the Philco 39-31 in the background. I was born 7 years later, but never remember that unit. But what I do remember is the 42-1008P that I grew up with. I have no idea why they got rid of the 39 and bought the 42. I remember my dad listening to the Salt Lake City Mormon Tabernacle Choir every Sunday morning (even though we lived in central California).
I kept the 42-1008P until 1980 when I sold it.
But now I'm looking to find one to restore. For sentimental reasons.
I think this forum will be of great value when I find what I'm looking for.
If any of you knows of a 42-1008p anywhere around Sacramento, CA., please let me know.
Thank you,
Pat
