I have that exact radio at my desk at work - it is on daily. With and RF amp, it gets better reception than most others, in a cubicle. Two local AM stations now play music...again after a 2-year period of sports-talk format.

It has a 50L6 output but the other 5 tubes are 7-pin minis, including the 35W4. After I gave it a re-cap, it still sounded lousy. Then I did an IF alignment and it made a world of difference.

I will look for a knob and back-antenna at the swap this friday, the plastic is not very tough and mine is not perfect.
