I had a 50 a few years ago and one of the picky things that bugged me about it was that the spkr seem to cause the front panel bow out where it attaches at the bottom. I was going to add a thin piece of plywood shaped like the cardboard that hold the grille cloth but sold it before I got roundtoit.
Looking good on the underside, I see it has a few 99K resistors. On my 660 the 99K where listed has 100K on the parts list. I kept looking for brn-blk-ylw resistors not the wht-wht- org. Caught me off guard.
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
