Philco 38-3XX Console Radio
#2

If you have experience, these are not bad at all. Magnetic tuning is in essence AFC, automated frequency control, that comes handy with the teledial, eliminating inaccuracies in the tuning cap positioning by locking the frequency to that of the station.
Not complex.
The wiring is good, as it was not rubber-covered and keeps well.
RF chassis is a bit of a PITA, but not egregious.
But the dial itself is somewhat complicated and requires attention and good documenting when being disassembled, so when putting it back together you do not find things you do not remember what they are for and how they go in.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
