Interesting. All three IF cans are variable. Also has the 42s driven by two 6C5s. Wonder why they did not use the 6F6, which is octal like the rest of the set (minus the viso-glo) and electically the same as the 42.

Nice radio. The chassis is neat, clean and orderly. I hate when everything is crammed together. Is the switch for the MP3? Joe

I added the switch to the radio . It is a for the phono input and
of course you can play the MP3 through it [with the proper adapter]
There was a lot of room under there but the hard cap was the one under the band switch.
With the help of a member of another forum I got everything going and can't wait to do the cabinet

Now that's a far cry from your original pictures! Your careful attention to this cabinet surely accentuates it's fine lines and varying wood shades. Keep the pictures coming!
