Come over, bring them with you. I am sure they could be singing fast, if there is no smoke escaping.

Looks beautiful!

Suffern NY is up North....I am in Jackson NJ, this is a bit south.

Think I-195 (Great Adventure).

PS. They had great brewery in Suffern, made "Ruffian Ale".....I think they disappeared.

Very nice, Kirk!!

I have a model 1568 that is same year model as your Sparton. It will be getting a cabinet resto possibly this summer, IF I EVER finish my 15X and my daughter's Crosley Play Time. In fact, I am listening to the Sparton as I type this. I got two Chinese 2A3s for 30.00 a piece at the Raleigh Ham-fest and am very pleased with them.

Interesting - this set overdrives the 2A3s with 350V plate and -64V bias. No idea what the power out is but the output Xfrmr and field coil are BIG.
