Audio power output from the 35C5 tube in these sets is probably 1 watt-1.5 watts, which although low sounds fine to me if played at usual volume levels.
The electrostatic tweeter is in the K-731 if I remember correctly. This H845 may have been the last model or the general kind in 63-64. Actually it has pretty good highs.

In retrospect here, I think the main problem with the MJ1035-1 would be the comittment to sub-par speakers that are built in. Even the least tube tuner like an Allied 333 might be better choice then.

Are the tubes used in these last-of-line radios at all like those in tube receivers? The chassis look a little similar to some of those 50s mon amps.....

Thanks,
