71 code 125

Good find!
If the cabinet is rough there are folks that make new parts for it. I was just telling Ron that I've started working on a model 21. It uses the same cabinet as the 70 but different knob layout. This thing was in pretty bad shape but since it's a hard to find set I decided to bite the bullet and fix it all. Was able to find the base board, front panel, all the trim at the base, the arch. The base was badly rotted (falling apart) trim was beat pretty bad too, and front scroll work was busted out.
It's not cheap but since you are starting out at a low cost for the set it gives you a little more you can spend on it. A few pics of it here:

In there their is a REALLY ROUGH model 20. I think if I buy a front panel for it I've got enough parts to make a good cabinet. Got a bunch of 20 chassis.

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
