Thanks Arran - that gets me started.
I looked again last night. The dial cords have not been touched I suspect (probably a good thing) But I need to work out the mechanism, as something isn't working quite right. Sometimes the drive goes slack and the pointer slips off the scale.
Oh, and the #%^$ moving company lost all the knobs. So there's my first expense.
It should come together nicely, and I feel somewhat responsible to recover the set, since it was a gift. However, I don't see the same level of electronic or chassis quality as with the older Philco I have worked on.
Next thing will be to test transformers and field coils, and see that we have all windings in one piece.

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
