Very clean little 40-130 I found in an antique shop "for display only". Not working, but only 20 bucks.
Good find. Cabinet looks to be in good shape. I would have also grabbed it at that price.
Even if not restored a nice shelf Queen.

fix  it    Icon_thumbup
Nice find! Watch out for that rubber coated wire tho!
Sure looks like my 40-135 Icon_biggrin

What is the difference...chassis?
The 40-135 has push buttons for station pre-sets. The 40-130 is strictly a knob twister. There seems to be a nearly infinite number of chassis variations on this cabinet. The speaker openings change a bit, too. I have a nice 40-145 myself.....

I know the pre-sets but what else is different about the chassis? Tube lineup is the same.
