1942 Philco 42-350 AM/FM/SW Radio

[vortalexfan]

Greetings everyone, the other day I purchased from a local antique mall a 1942 Philco 42-350 AM/FM/SW Radio (the FM on this radio being the old 42-50 MHz FM Band), that the cabinet is in near mint condition and is an all loctal set and has push-button presets and a push-button for the power (which was common on the Philcos from that time period).

This Radio has the all too common "stuck power button" issue which I'm not sure how to go about repairing that, and the tuning dial needs to be restrung but I don't really have access to a very good tuning string diagram for this radio.

Also I was wondering if anyone has attempted to make a transmitter device for the old FM band that could be used to play an iPod or CD Player or Tape Player through any of the Frequencies of the old FM Band?

Thanks for your help!
