  • great looking set gotta love the rubber wires!

  • True, can be a nightmare. The rubber wiring in this one is good. One of the few I've run across that wasn't crumbling.

  • Almost all the rubber wire on my 40-180 chassis had to be replaced. The 40-180 has PP 41's. Nice set.

  • Yes you're correct. I said 42s....whoooops!

  • I think a few of those Philco console sets had the same tube compliments.

  • Philco was kind of funny in the output tube department. Example, the 116B sets used 42s in P-P, yet the 116X(console version) used 6A3 in P-P. Philco was probably one of the few if not the only one using 41s in 1940. Most manufactures had moved on to the octal version 6F6 6V6 6L6 etc. etc.

  • Yeah it's a rare day when you don't have to replace at least a few of the wires. But, all manufactures of this era suffered from the poor quality rubber used. I've had to re-cover the wiring in many Zeniths of this era, as well as a few Detrola's, Stromberg-Carlsons, etc.

  • Just bought idnetical console. It works but I guess it needs fine tuning to be just like yours.

    For the moment I look at the cabinet (excellent condition) and gee it is marvelous!

  • Sound quality for the period it was built

    was remarkable` earthy bass and voice range"

    beautiful cabinent as well. Brings back memories i love these old vintage radios.
