Bill,
I have not found any additional information on the Kennedy cathedral radio. I had a couple of guys from the radio club searching as well and no luck. I am still suspecting that it was an 1872B, but not sure and have not found a schematic anywhere.
My radio fortunately works. I have recapped it and change the majority of the resistors as they were all at least 25% out of tolerance. I was able to read the values on most of the capacitors and resistors, so it was not too tough of a job.
I have glued up all of the loose veneer and bad joints and hope to start applying the stain and lacquer soon, but that's an outside job and may be a few more months before I can get to that. we have had a very snowy winter in central MN.
I will stay in touch and post to the site if I find anything and plan on posting a picture of the final product when I am finished.
Regards,
George
