And beware the power transformers in these sets. Seems like the radios I run into with this chassis around my area always seem to have dead transformers. That and they are a bear to rebuild with the way they are built. Actually, I should have left mine sit a bit longer before taking it up to be rebuilt. I need to get my butt in gear now and get a transformer for it.
No matter where you go, there you are.
