I have one of these. I gave up on it many years ago due to the aforementioned final IFT going intermittent and causing massive crackles. The problem is they are variable selectivity jobs with taps on them so not easy to replace. I think it was all discussed on here quite a while back now. Good luck with the restoration. I found mine very difficult to work on due to close packed components. Mine is now languishing under a bench in my garage. Shame really, as I think they would be a good receiver in their day.
