38-17F
#14

Got a chance to give it a quick once over. Got the chassis out and it looks to be in good shape. Dial cord was broken so I fixed that up and the dial is pretty beat, has a few tears in the foil so I may be on the hunt for a replacement. Put a new line cord on and wiped off the toobs. All are original except for the 84. The cap on the 6A7 was loose but on closer inspection there was a crack in the glass and a bit of air in the toob. Looked a little white at the bottom. That one has to go. The cabinet is a mess. Someone painted it with a thin coat of brown paint and did a sloppy job. The original colors show through this stuff but definably going to need to be refinished. The speaker has a giant hole but I'm pretty sure I can fix her up. So Ron would you like a pic of it now or wait till I do the cabinet or both??? Was just looking at the Gallery pics and only $5 difference between the table and floor models Amazing!!!!

ps The good new is I was trolling CL and found a nice model 70 cabinet for $25. Needs an arch but I think it's going to turn into a model 21 cabinet.
