Thats the double "D" version.
I restored a GE 805 a couple years ago - it was a fun project.
I found that they are great performers too with the 10BP4 CRT.
Some tips that were given to me was that you can wash that light green
rubber mask around the CRT and it will come out looking like new.
I also polished the solid brass pieces and then applied red paint in the
engraved lettering to bring out the appearance.
One more tip, when you get ready to work on the chassis, do put a
cardboard cover the speaker as it is in the perfect spot for your
finger to punch through the paper cone.
The cabinets do polish up nice and shiny.
The chassis contains daughter boards where you will have to
spend some time recapping. There are two Selenium rectifiers
that you will want to replace.
Good luck and have a lot of fun.
