we have a packard model PA382042 (philco model p-4635) radio. we are wondering what we should be selling it for? please someone help! :D

I believe the model PA382042 fits the 1946/47 Packard Clipper (and possibly the 41/42 models also). I have seen these on eBay for anywhere from $25 to $150. A lot depends on whether it works or not, the condition of the chrome face, and if it has all it's buttons and knobs. In contrast, a radio for the 1941 senior Packards goes for at least $400 pretty much regardless of condition while a nice working radio for the 48/49/50 goes for $25-$75. Supply and demand.

A little information on old radios if you have a old friend as I have who is interested in radios as he repaired my radio with all new parts capacitors and tubes and it works as well as new. Tubes are easily located as per my friend Russia is a source of new parts as they are still produced there and a standard is used making parts not a problem. All you need is a friend the radio information wiring diaghram makes it easier for them

i have looked on ebay for this particular radio and i have not found anything. i have a very clear knowledge of ebay as i was a seller on there for years. EBAY is not the best place for knowledge on everything.

that is exactly what ours looks like. the top photo....is it for a 1946/47???

The radios are different and believe PA382042 in original post is not the correct number--more likely the second number in post 6 & appears to be for 41-2 Clippers?? and ??. Numerals and controls are upside down compared to the 47 labeled as PA382042.

As an aside, what frequencies does Russia use? I notice Packard is numbered 6 to 16 for roughly 540-1650Khz in North America but the ZIS is 1 thru 9.

OK, I'm totally confused. Here are two pictures of Packard Radios.

The 'Non-Clipper' radio is the one found in 1941/42 Packards. The control head is above the speaker.

The 'Clipper' radio is from a photo of a 1947 Clipper. The control head is below the speaker.

Which one do you have?

Yesterday's Radio shows the one in question as only 41-2 so would that be for all models or just certain ones? The 382042 with the bottom controls lists as 42-6-7 so that must be the for the prewar Clipper as well.

The parts manuals don't appear to have an accessories section like the later ones do and I can't immediately find anything else that lists which numbers go to which model.

Yes, the radio with the control head over the speaker is for the 1941/42 110, 120, 160 and 180. The other one is for the Clipper.

Edit: This document describes PA382042 which is the number originally given. This is the Clipper radio. The document only lists the year 1946 but I think 41,42,46,47 were very similar if not the same.

Just to add a little. I have acquired a radio for my 42 clipper and it has the controls below the speaker. It looks like it will fit right in although I haven't actually installed it yet as it needs repairs. The ID tag on back says it is a Phillco P-4635. When you determine a price for yours, I may be interested in it as I need at least parts for mine or mine may be good for parts for yours.
