My T-54
I got a rough T-54 from Tim a few years ago. Tim got it from Harry Poster at the AWA swap meet. I remembered this set in the cover photo of the Allied radio catalogue I had when I was a kid (reproduced in the picture frame beside the set) and always thought this was a cool vintage set. I was so pleased to finally get one (thanx Tim!) that I spent a good week fully reconditioning and restoring it, even replacing the 1/16" thick plastic window. Here is mine after restoration.
There are two different chassis in the T-54's. Both have channels 1 through 13 but the early 1947 model has all 6SH7 metal octals in the IF's whereas the later model has 7 pin miniature IF tubes. Mine is the early octal chassis.
