IIRC, Midwest was sort of a "poor man's" version of the mighty E.H. Scott-They kinda aped Scott in features & high tube count. Scott people claimed, of course, that Midwest were mere pretenders to the throne. Another thing was that there was a big kerfuffle around this time when it was revealed that in more than a few high-tube count radios, sometimes the tubes were there more or less just for show, and actually added little, if anything, to the performance of the set. However, this is NOT to say that yr set isn't VERY desirable-On the contrary, it is VERY much so, & should be an EXCELLENT performer ! I think, even w/the cabinet "bloop", you got a STEAL !
