I am restoring a model 42-285 code 121 console for a friend. He pays for parts and I get to enjoy my hobby. Well, the cabinet label shows a 9 tube chassis tube diagram. When the chassis was removed the first hint all was not well was that the chassis had a 3/16th add-on shim under it so as to raise it enough that the dial seated properly. The next issue was that the chassis was a 7 tube unit. Has the same push button and osc tuning coils/capacitors as the 42-285 but while the 42-285 has a three wafer band switch the installed chassis has a one wafer switch. So, my question is what chassis is it? Stamped in the metal is M30235  and stamped in ink is 11167. I suspect the M30235 is the chassis ID.??????  I had restored a 42-285 for my sister which had the 9 tube chassis and retained the schematic and alignment instructions. I found that documentation on Nostalgia Air but they have no data base for a chasssis number search. So, I am asking for advice on obtaining documentation for the 7 tube chassis. I suspect the 7 tube chassis was originally installed in a table top cabinet. Richard
