Yes, it caught my eye at the auction. It does have a bit of a problem with the curved burled walnut on one side.
I did lower the line voltage to under 110 volts and the transformer still runs quite hot. It's been on now for a couple of hours since I did that. I'll leave it that way since it works fine. I did an alignment. The BC band lined up good, some of the others not as much. But still very acceptable. I get a kick out of the motor drive. Quite necessary as the tuning knob takes a lot of twisting to get all the way across the dial. I think it's going to perform very well. I'm not a big fan of the preset tone control. I would prefer separate bass and treble.
