Just got this radio. I suspect that before it hit the USPS, it may have only needed some tweaking and a battery bank. Unfortunately, even though the radio was well packed, they still managed to damage it significantly (and without even denting the case!) Somehow, it was hit hard enough to break all the audio transformers off the chassis, cutting/breaking the wires at various places, and shattering one of the two 112 tubes.
I'm going to try to repair the transformers, wish me luck there. But, all the schematics for this radio that I have thus far found don't seem to match the radio. For starters, the schematics call for 171's instead of 112's, and the part numbers (no parts values) for the bypass caps are different. I've ordered a schematic from Steve, hopefully it will be the right one. In the meantime, does anyone have any experience with this set?
TIA
