Nice job. I always found these are very rewarding repairs. Making such an old handcrafted piece of electronics back to work... love it. 🙂

I've got just about the exact same radio here right now. Do you have a schematic for it? I don't even have a tube chart as the back panel is missing.

here lol looks sloppy but it works😉 i have no schematic sorry🙁

Darn, I appreciate you making that chart for me but it turns out this radio is different. Many similarities to yours but mine has more small tubes and currently has different ones in the power amp, ELL80. Thanks anyways though 🙂
