I also love the Hi Fi stuff and collect it.I indulge that interest by alternating Hi Fi work with Philco restorations. Tonight I completed a Curtis Mathes 2918 circa 1960 and have it on my computer desk. Sounds nice but no Marantz. Next I'll give attention to my 38-116 now that I have a junker chassis to repair the dial damaged in shipment. Don't know how long it will take to finish it but have scheduled calibration of a Sencore SG-165 when the 38-116 is finished. Then I'll align my 48-482 {9.1 MC IF}. Follow that with restoration of a 90 console, single ended 47. Then I'll do a Pilot 601 etc. May not live long enough to restore them all but will die happy. Now I'm looking for a 48-1274 or1276.
