Forgot to mention -

It looks like one of those audio transformers on your set looks like an older (as in mid-1920s) replacement.

Wouldn't a model originally made for Canadian sale be more likely to be a 25 cycle model (which would be model 521), since much of your country had 25 cycle AC back then?

And if it had originally been a 515, the model number would be stamped as such on the model number tag.

Still, it's not a bad looking set, enjoy it.
