I just bought a 54c (or is it a 59c?) with the photofinish and looked at the gallery to check. It hasn't come in, yet, but the photos look like the photofinish is in good shape and the cabinet is solid. I'll find out about the dials when it gets here I suppose. With the photofinish, it is the middle production lot? Does that mean a different schematic...or changes to the one on pages 57 & 58of volume 3 of Rider's? No transformer, I see. And the condenser block looks like fun to figure out. Any warnings?
