Hi David,

The power chassis and speaker look like new! I like the replacement for the chassis interconnect, much better.

I have one of these sets too, and also a battery version that uses a vibrator to generate the HT from the 4V LT battery. That one was practically just a chassis hanging from 2/3rds of a cabinet! I was lucky enough to find an empty cabinet for sale to re-house it. It also needs a new tuning scale glass, as although it was intact, all the lettering had faded away! The scale is different on this one as it is painted white on the rear of the lettering, with just a thin strip in the middle through which you can see the scale pointer. I hope to get it working one day!

I'll be following this thread with interest!

Regards,
Lloyd.
