Hello to all,
       My latest project is a Philco Console 41-295, code 121 that a friend 
asked me to see if I could get working again. This is an 11 tube 4 band radio 
with push buttons.  The speaker has a nasty rip in it.  Short of having it 
reconed, does anyone have any secret recipe for patching speaker cones?  The 
chassis is in very good condition with the exception of several of the rubber 
insulated wires losing the insulation.  The cabinet looks good also and he 
plans to restore the finish.  
       I have a pretty good idea of the values for most of the caps., but 
there are two metal electrolytics that have illegible labels.  They have 
leaked out so I'm not holding much hope of getting a measurement on them.  
There is nothing stamped on them either.  I have a bad Riders schematic and a 
Beitmans that isn't much better.  
       Is there some way to get a parts list for this model.  The schematics 
have reference numbers and I think I can figure it out from there.  The 
41-300 used a similar schematic as well.
       Also, does anyone have any suggestion of what material to use to 
replace the rubber band type material that was used on the ends of the slide 
rule dial?  

Thanks in advance for your help.
