Some years back I was given this 220v British A535 mfgr'd just after WW-II... It needed a little of everything but cabinet and chassis were in good condition... When I pulled chassis to restring dial cord I had a panic attack and not finding any info on web, put it back together... Well last year I searched again and the service info is now online, without it doubtful I'd have ever gotten dial cord strung properly... Now recapped & has two AC cords so I can operate it from both sides of a RCA ISOTap xformer... Still needs a bit of detailing and grille cloth is wrong...
