Wow! That is a great job on that radio! The guy I bought my 140 off of had a little Simplex that he wanted $150, that was in pieces and had the back of the cabinet damaged by being carried from the top. I decided on the 140 instead, though it wasn't cheap. Odd thing about my 140: it has a servicing stamp on it from Aug. 25th, 1945. During that time, it appears they completed rebuilt the chassis and redid it for all 6 volt tubes in the original sockets! Possibly the power transformer was dead and wartime limitations left them with only 6 volt transformers? A friend of mine has seen this done before on wartime radios. The question is: to restore fully to original or leave the wartime modification in there? Looks original until you look at the numbers on the tubes themselves.
