Ron:

My 38-116 was kind of a project too. The band switch was ruined and I had to transplant the whole middle tuning unit from another chassis. It's a great performer. I've yet to start on the cabinet. After playing quite well for about six months it developed weird symptoms. The magnetic tuning wouldn't work and there were birdies that weren't there before. Turns out half of the 6N7 tube had quit working. Fortunately, I had saved the tubes from the donor chassis and this cured the troubles.
