Folks - I haven't even thought about that radio for so long I can't remember what it looks like.

My cancer returned with an attitude and I don't have a great deal of time left. I'm too weak to work with a hobby I was falling in love with.

I think I ended up junking that radio - it had too many other defects. As far as to why I drilled a new hole it was because I couldn't remove that stupid permanent assembly that was attached to the back cover that had the 2-prong holes in it. I just left it and drilled a new hole and bypassed everything. If I remember the set was quite safe to the touch of the chassis once I got the new AC cord attached to the 2 points I wanted. The set worked but the sound was crappy and I seem to remember other issues. I tossed it for shelf space.

Thanks for the replies everyone but I don't think I will live long enough to work on another tube radio.
