I was fortunate enough to find this great Silvertone 4588 with the mirror dial on CL this week. Picked it up on Friday, and have given it a cleaning with GOJO. Looks like a trim piece is missing on the bottom center, some small pieces of the banded thin inlay are gone. Dial is in nice condition with no cracks or breaks. 4 bands using 13 tubes. I don't think these tube shields look correct, and some are missing. It has a phono input plug which is part of the speaker wiring. And there is a badly burned resistor under the chassis with one disconnected wire. It got real hot as there is charring on the baseboard. This is another of my "holy grail" sets that I didn't actually think I would be able to find.
