well tom,, apparently the "Early" model 117 is mine with the tube layout.
I am heading out to the garage now to shake out the caps and resistors to see if they match.

if the early diagram matches,, then this may have made it to the front lines.,, because none of the 50v PP tube layouts were sold to civilians.,, these all were army/navy exchanges/PX's,, and i think i actually found the navy "NSN" (national stock number) for armed forces procurement.

found some original ink stamping for tube designations as well.

thank you very much for plotting that diagram for me,, i downloaded all three nostalgia air has because another gent at another site mentioned conflicts all over the place with these sets.

if i start running into that sorta stuff, im tossing diagrams and just replacing the values of items that are installed now. I dont want to over complicate this.
