Still waiting for some new tubes for the FM but couldn't resist installing it in its rightful place. Sounds even better with the speaker in the cabinet. For the moment, I have the two Philharmonics side by side in the shop. The right one is the Beam of Light Philly I purchased at the Stanton auction last March, the left one is the AM/FM I purchased from Ron, the subject of this thread. The AM/FM is on the FM band with the converter setting on top allowing me to tune the FM band. You will notice that only one of the eyes is lit. The left one is for AM tuning and the right one is for FM tuning. On the BOL Philly, both eyes are lit. The left one is for tuning and the right one gives indication of the amount of expansion when the Expander is engaged. I need one "pinch" type Scott wooden knob for the AM/FM. I hear they are not easy to come by. I may have to steal one from my Scott 16.
I took one picture with the lights dimmed a bit to show off the dials.
