It's not bad, but I think you should save your room for an even better console. Icon_smile

Thanks Mr. Philco, I'll stay with the 620.

Now, just to wait for that beautiful $20 16B with working shadow meter to pop up. Any day now Icon_biggrin

Felix, yep. Sounds good. I already have two. While we're shooting for the sky, I guess I'll wait for that mystery control set or maybe early 30's phonograph.

Success! Picked it up this afternoon. Looks good, but poorly refinished. Pictures to follow when I get home.

Thanks for the suggestion everyone!
