Thanks Ron! What a great sight. What a lot of work. Thank YOU!!!

Now I see my radio there. So I have a 38-40K. Why K? I see the table top model is 38-40T which makes sense.

How does it differ from the 39-39? The cabinet seems the same, but the 38-39 is cheaper. The radio must be different.

We live in an off grid solar powered house so I have always been wary about buying old radios. I feared they would hog power because of the tubes. I was pleased to discover this one only uses about 30 watts! I assume they had to make them power frugal so they could run on battery for more than a few hours.

Thanks,

Todd
