Here's the chassis after a quick cleaning.


Someone probably swapped out a 2.5 VAC tranny for a 6.3 VAC so had to change the tube lineup.


I wonder what those two huge coils are for on the left ? I figured one for the antenna maybe. They do seem to go to a switch so maybe two bands? The dial only has AM on it though.
I think this will be a pain to try to restore without a schematic given all the modifications. Perhaps it'd be best to just replace whatever is there with exactly the same value capacitor.


I think the clincher is only two of the chassis holes line up. The two towards the front and center don't line up with anything.


Whoever cobbled this set together did a good job I must say. Every thing lines up quite nicely with no hacks, shims extra holes etc. The accessory power plug is a nice touch too.
