Wow! You did a great job restoring that chassis to a stock appearance 
That reminds me - Here's a photo gallery of another 15DX in excellent condition. One of only a couple others I know to exist. https://www.flickr.com/photos/110865909@...450737226/
I sure hope I can get mine looking that nice someday! I see it has a connector on the speaker cable so it must be a later production run. The shadow meter is a different design too and it was recapped long ago like your 15X.
