It appears to be a simple set with a ton of 6AU6's, and 12BH7's. I tested the CRT, it is at about 85% emission. Can't wait to get it working, though I am having some difficulty finding the schematics....
I may have it in Rider's.... When we get back to Los Angeles next week, I'll take a look.

Those Pacific Mercury consoles are very unusual sets, and I think I've only seen a couple of them. One I saw was a 24" round metal tube, which I now wish I'd picked up. They also had a 12" wood table model with doors, similar to the small Hoffman.
