I discovered a stamp on the underside of the breadboard on my Philco 40-150. It is"56-1417' in black ink with numbers about 1/2" tall. Any ideas wg
hat it means?

No, I don't but I like your Quote about being a good electrician. The way I look at it is "The fact that I survived to this age after all my escapades, is proof positive of a benevolent and loving God!!!!"
"Do Justly, love Mercy and walk humbly with your God"- Micah 6:8

It's most likely a part number. Most of Philco part numbers are in that format. I looked at the parts list for this model and the only part with 56 is the dial pointer. Not being on the parts list probably means it's not replaceable.
I think RobB has it right. It is a part number and looks like its stamped on the chassis and that wasn't something you could order up for replacement. It also does not show up in the 1942 Parts Catalog.
Of course! Even the chassis will have a part number. Thanks for your replies. And yes, I do have some serious rewiring to do. All the rubber coated wire insulation turns to dust if I give it a stern look! So glad I didn't plug it in when I got it. Now, lets see if I can still make a good solder joint.
