Nice find
, I just finished rebuilding the same model for a friend. I'm not into postwar radios either but it was an interesting experience. the biggest thing was getting the filament voltage to run at about 1.4 volts to protect the tube filaments, had to try several different resistors to get it right. It turned out to be a great playing set, enough so that I bought one for myself, although I got the 47/48 8G005YT version. There is a guy on the barking dog forum who has a great thread about restoring this same model. I used it quite a bit for reference when working on my friends radio. it was a big help. Good luck with yours!
