Here's another update.

I've got it back in the cabinet, and it sounds GOOD! Icon_biggrin

The Philco antenna makes the difference (sounds like a plug, doesn't it?). Now it just needs the knobs, the escutcheon, and a permanent set of final tubes. Shouldn't have to do much to the cabinet at all.

When it's done, I'll head over to the bar for an "S.C.". Icon_biggrin

More to come.
