 It's actually a 41-285, so it has nine tubes rather then eight tubes like a 41-280. http://www.philcoradio.com/gallery/1941a.htm#af Yes, the plastic parts are broken or missing, but even if they were still there they usually arrive all warped and crumbling on those sets anyhow. According to the gallery there were only 30,422 41-285s made, verses 81,561 41-280s, not rare but they are not nearly as common. I also like the cabinet style, if I had a chance to get one I could probably make room for one, especially for $20
