Agree, these are very good and sensitive radios and not bad to look at either. Take care to tame the voltage divider so as to keep the heater string voltage proper especially if you decide to lose the 117Z3, selenium, or whatver and replace it with a diode. I've taken the sometimes troublesome AC/Battery switch mechanisms out of a couple of sets once it was decided that they would no longer be battery operated. "Dreaded mica disease" in the IF cans has happened.
