Just completed a D-958 circa 1956.It has more bells and whistles than one might expect from that vintage AA5.It has a wood cabinet,mahogany finish,phono input,tone control,dual 6 inch speakers,neon power indicator,and 2 speed tuning.Outer tuning knob tunes the complete band in 1/2 revolution and inner tuning takes 3 revolutions end to end. Unusual for no SW bands. Also, output is 35C5 instead of 50C5. A 100 ohm resister is in filament circuit to drop about 15 volts.My guess is the AA6 was discontinued leaving an inventory of 35C5s which they were using up. Any other thoughts on this bit of trivia?
