I've got a 41-295 too! My parents bought it at an auction in 1979, and I restored it for them many years later. It's now in my possession in regular use

I've had almost every Philco console there is, including the 39-116. Never had mine working either......

i own sevral of those older philco and zenith radio consoles from the 40s. its hard to find one thats not in horrible condition, but they are fairly reliable units, most of mine have worked and givin what they are, in all fairness, the sound quality isnt half bad! especially when you get one with a aux/phono hookup. its intresting to hear booty bass gangsta rap blaring out of a 70 year old radio.
