Follow-up to 5-S-127 and 5-F-134 restoration.

Interesting. The 5-S-127 was my first old radio, but it was many moons ago when I restored it and it was always a good performer. I should pull it out and freshen it up someday. When/if that day comes your info will come in very handy, thanks for posting it Icon_thumbup

Not only that, I would like to know which one you have.

I suspect that the ones with the 2125 ohm F.C. were the first 10% or so, which is a lot.

Still looking for input from those that have console versions.
