One little note regarding the 447 - never try to pick up the radio by grabbing the top of the cabinet - as is too often done. The 447 chassis is so heavy that you will probably end up with a 2-part cabinet - the top separated from the bottom.

When I acquired my 447 this had been done by the auction company - THANKS!

The 768Q is light enough (no transformer) to not apply to this warning. Still maybe the glue has failed? Best to pick it up by the bottom.
