Did you find it? I DID ! There IS a mistake in the schematic ! A dot is missing showing the connection of the wire running from R28 to 1/2 of C50 to the B+ the "white wire" to the speaker, the 42 output tube, and through various transformers to other tubes. I made the connection and BINGO ! Man does this radio work well on just my short test antenna ! I'm not even going to fool with the compensating condensers on the back of the chassis. It works too well as it is, and I learned a long time ago, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it !"

Next will come the cabinet, which is really very good, just a cleaning with GOJO should do the job, perhaps a single coat of tung oil just to refresh things and hide the scratches. Sadly the grill cloth is badly deteriorated near the top. It was hard to tell until the speaker came out. Then it became pretty apparent. Oh well, I'll find a suitable replacement. Too bad though, that metallic diamond original was really nice.
