Hi John,

One plus point on your friend's receiver is that the plug-in module below the tuning dial hasn't been drilled out to take a volume control and a BFO on/off switch. That was a common mod and also usually resulted in some butchery inside the set.

The original power connector on the rear of the chassis is still present too, often these were hacked out and an octal socket fitted.

These sets don't fetch big prices usually but with the set in question being largely un-modded it might attract more interest.

Cheers

Roger
