Upon our first correspondences, Mike (I'll cal him Midwest Mike for now; forgot his last name). Anyway, like many, he wondered why my Imperial had been sold in the cabinet that it's in. Supposedly, it was sold for the '36 model sets. But, as you have already said, Midwest probably had a sort of wide menu of cabinets to choose from, so unless someone comes up with a Midwest catalogue from that time, we're not likeley to pinpoint just what cabinets were offered at what period of time. He expects to be at the radio meet in Lansing, Michigan in July, and I hope to see him. He has been at one of the Antique Wireless Assoc. meets in New york, and I had a nice chat with him then.

You're so fortunate to find one of those sets in the UK, when they're not easy to find in the USA.
