Here we go, pictures of the 118H I bought yesterday. Now, there is some very good news: the power transformer is fine! The seller told me this radio was missing the type 80 tube when he bought it and he had gotten a pair of them for $20. The 80 that was in this radio when I got it has some sort of odd short that makes a plasma storm between the filaments and the plates, even on my tester. The second tube tested good and... well the radio works ok and the transformer stays nice and cool now! I also replaced a 42 with a short, a borderline weak 78, and a borderline weak 42. That improved the sound for sure. There looks like there are two generations of replacement electrolytics crammed under the chassis and the radio does have a bit of a hum. Also, the alignment is way out as I am picking up 1450 at 1310 on the dial, so I will definitely be getting this radio serviced. Still, it works ok to play with a bit and makes me glad I bought it. Picks up good on the crappy piece of antenna wire that came with it. No shortwave though, but the band control is absolutely filthy!
