The set arrived from Vaughn today. It is EXTREMELY rough, but as advertised. Thanks Vaughn! The front plywood (particleboard?) panel is a total loss. I'll keep it around, but I'll just use it as a template to cut a new board...
I intend to use a burled walnut or chesnut veneer over a sheet of plywood or fiberboard for a replacement.
The set is missing the electrolytics, one HV cap, one power supply choke, and the HV tranny. Nothing that can't be replaced. Otherwise it is quite rusty up top, but surprisingly clean and complete underneath.
5 channel tuner (was hoping for the rare 3 channel job), but from what I've traced of the set as wired, it uses the early 6N7-6SN7 sweep circuits, not the late 6SN7-6SN7 circuit. AM sound circuit with the 6SQ7. Not sure what combinations of tuner, sweep circuits, and sound circuits other collectors have. Photos to follow.
