I made the trip of 200 miles to pick up this Marconi model 117
It need a grill cloth and knobs[which I have]. The 6U5 is quite bright and the owner said it works but I will do a recap. I think I will leave the finish alone except do some work on the top. I used to own one of these but this time it's a keeper because my last one sounded very good. It has nine tubes. I just love the large glass dial,which is very impressive in the dark.[Image: http://i318.photobucket.com/albums/mm405...Medium.jpg][Image: http://i318.photobucket.com/albums/mm405...Medium.jpg]
