Does this one use 6L6's or 2A3 output tubes? I got one at an estate sale which must be a slightly earlier? model...it must have shortwave which it appears yours doesn't have for some reason.
I do have the cabinet for mine and that thing is monstrous! Have never seen such a large cabinet on an old console radio.

How would this chrome be restored? I know on mine, the amp chassis is fairly pitted and corroded.

At least on the one I have, the FM IF stages are in the power amp chassis for some reason...not sure if all are like this, but it would make replacing the amp with a custom built unit more difficult.

Here are some pictures of mine...I do have the amp chassis too but it is in another workshop area.
