Oh, btw, I you can post the dimensions of your 71 cabinet, I have a cabinet, missing the face, that is in excellent shape, if you are interested.

Exterior measures 15 1/2" wide (including base trim) x 18" high x 10 5/8" deep (including base trim).
Interior measures 14" wide x 17 1/8" high x 9 5/8" deep.

I pulled the chassis out and was happy to see that it's in better shape than I thought. Looks like it will be a fairly simple restoration, just the usual recap, replace resistors and rotten wire. Hopefully the coil windings are ok bur I'm not holding my breath on it. I'm missing one tube shield, speaker needs to be reconed, shadow meter lamp is broken off (should be able to rivit it back on) and it will need a new dial face.
