I am waiting for the 6N6 tubes to arrive; I ordered 3, since I have none in stock and always like to have spares. So, I busied myself with what all I could get done. I double and triple checked all the connections. I found one bad solder joint, which I had to remelt. Yup, happens to us all. The chassis is wired to the speaker. The only thing missing is the audio output tube. I decided to give the radio a pre-test, see if there was any smoke or explosions. Nope, the radio came up as expected, no sound except a very feint hum from the speaker. The only glass tube with an easily visible filament lit up properly. The two dial lights came on nicely. So, here is what the chassis looks like, first, the underside all finished...

Next the whole chassis from the front...

And the dial close up, one of the things that REALLY attracted me to this radio, and makes constructing a new, custom cabinet for it worth it, IMHO...
