Well, if you don't have one that's been hacked on they are pretty roomy and easy to work on under the chassis. In my opinion those black and white painted tin dials look pretty good, are easy to read, and the shutterdial is pretty cool, making the radio even easier to tune. The motor drive is just icing on the cake and it doesn't need to have a complex system of pre-sets since each band has a its own large dial, so it's just an easy way to get from one end of the dial to the other.
I think I sent you a copy of the owners manual a while back, if not let me know. These sets originally had station indicators as shown in the manual, but most are missing today. I have some notes written up by John Goeller on servicing these that I'll e-mail to you.
These radios are like any other on the market back then, they had good points and bad points. If I only collected perfectly designed radios I'd have a lot of empty shelf and floor space
