If anyone is interested, I just posted a pictorial of this much despised chassis being rebuilt on my blog:

Most people hate it. Not because it works poorly but because it is very difficult to work on. I have done several of these since they were used with a few changes for 2 years in many RCA and GE (Westinghouse?) radios. The same chassis was used in consoles and table models with the same speaker. There were also 7 and 9 tube versions.
