Hi guys.

Decided to start on the 118.
This one I picked up on my way to get the 37-116 in MA I bough for Peter almost 2 years ago, in August 2014.
If anyone remembers, this was from the guy who all of a sudden decided not to sell it - he got offended by something. But eventually I got it.

The cabinet is in decent shape: arch support in one place separates a bit but that's a gluing job. No bowing, pretty solid.
No screws hold the chassis in place from the bottom - it is held by the two brackets in the back. Don't know if that was the intent: the brackets are clearly factory but the missing screws I am not sure about.

Anyways, here are some photos:

   
   
   
   
   



As you can see from the last photo, someone repaired it before: almost every backelite block has tubular caps soldered in parallel. The cord is not original   which is painfully obvious.
Very familiar picture: it is very much like the 18, which I restored 3 years ago or so.

Good news: the speaker has both the field coil and transformer good.

Well, this is it for now.
