that is a BEAUTIFUL radio. . ..

looks like the old owner just used an adapter socket for the 80 --> 5U4

keep your eyes peeled . . . I've scored a NUMBER of beat to hell late 20's and early 30's consoles for short money (under $30) that coughed up some yummy globe 80's and 45's . . . it'd be cool to return it to 'stock'

To be totally honest though, I doubt you'd notice the difference in that circuit . . . just bring it up slow on a variac and enjoy !

I've never seen a Atwater chassis that clean before . .. cabinet looks to be refinished, (color's off) but it sure looks slick . . .

WAY TO GO
