Airline 04WG-731B
#1

I found this a few months back and will be restoring it with my friend RickH who is new to the radio addiction.  We'll work on it a bit each week.  Today was opening it up and seeing what we have.  The sticker in the shop said it "turns on" which I'm assuming means the pilot light lit up.  We did not power it up.  Here is a LINK TO THE SCHEMATIC.

The main surprise was that there was a 50L6GT tube in the spot for the 35L6GT output tube.  The 4 component electrolytic cap has been replaced and the power cord was spliced with a newer cord.  We'll test tubes and perhaps start recapping next time.  This 1941 set does have some of the poor rubber insulated wire that will also need replacing or resleeving, although it appears that some of that may have already been replaced.  There was also an asbestos sheet covering the entire base of the radio.  I've elected to take that out and dispose of it. The cabinet is not too bad but I think we will refinish it for the experience.
