They are a bit. But I have just powered it up and the illumination looks just fine.

Anyhow.
I have just tested the tubes (all strong) and powered it up. Fist I head a light pop.
I gave it a look, all was fine. So I think it was a dirt igniting in the power switch as before the meter across the plug showed 40 ohms and after only 12.
I powered it again, and it sang loud and clear, I tried two bands and no antenna, there is activity on SW and the local station is very loud.
The volume pot needs some TLC, I took the Trolmaster to it. Also the switch snap is not as snappy. Though works.
Needs cleaning, the band switch also does.
What else..... alignment is in order.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
