Looking Great!!!!
I was never one for that strip down start from the ground up unless it was really really bad. When I was working it just took too much time and patience. Now that I'm retired it seems to be quite possible for me to do.
AVC is a big + on these older sets especially if you live in a city where there are some big guns transmitting. At night it's difficult to tune across the band without getting knocked off your chair by a powerful station.
I have a Philco 76 that I need to revisit. One of the 45 output tubes looses filament voltage (bad connection somewhere) but was toying with the idea of adding avc to it. Takes about 6 additional parts and have to reroute the volume control to the audio side of thing vs the ant.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
