I've two of them (121's) a late version table set and a late version chairside. Haven't serviced either yet. If you didn't know there is a big radio meet in Kutztown (abt 45min from you) in two weeks. A number of us will be there. Some just to hang out and others the horse trade/ buy sell old radios and other related pieces. Hope to see you there!
I'm about 1 1/2 hour south of Emaus near Willow Grove. Use to get up there when I was working but not so much any more.

   I was able to get correct values and have since re-stuffed with new caps. Next major issue is signal strength meter.Seems at some time in past vane movement was worked on and parts are missing.Also filters 100 & 80 were missing,since replaced.I also plan to attend Kutztown meet.  My call is KB3WLU.
