Airline Movie Dial model 62-309 - FINISHED!
#2

Another view of the added tube:

   

And the speaker board with extra two speakers added:

   

   

Some acoustic tubes were added and the bottom of the cabinet was enclosed These can be easily eliminated but I just wanted to show to the extreme this old audiophile went to in his efforts to try to get more power and gain out of this set:

   

If anyone has restored a movie dial set with the electric tuning, please chime in. With so many "extras" added to this set would I be better off to try to just do a recap / resistor replace and try to bring it up on the variac to see what I have or just try to "un-butcher" it and make it factory correct again? These modifications were obviously done decades ago, judging by the use of cloth wire. Someone knew what they were doing, and what they were trying to accomplish. It must've been somewhat successful as the set was obviously used in that configuration.
