Totally nice job Ron!!

In answer to the "Meters" Scale, I have noticed the same thing on a 42 PT-94, my Emerson 330 and several pre-war RCAs. My 48-206 does not have the "Meters" Scale.

I think that the reason is that early on, Radio Station frequencies were expressed in meters instead of KHz Oops- Kilocycles. I have many TRFs and one working Superhet (a Radiola 60). even the "Single Dial" Units, (The Crosley 602 (DONT ASK), and the Radiola 15, 17 and 18, all have scales calibrated in a relative 0 - 100 Scale that corresponds with percent mesh of the tuning cap. One radio stands out, a 1927 Federal F 11 Orthosonic which has a dial calibrated- in Meters!! no corresponding calibration in Kcps.

I have done 2 Transitones, a 42PT94 and a 48-206. The PT94 was for a friend and was a total mess, requiring a complete rewiring. Was my friend's dad's radio and had a lot of sentimental value. I bought the 48-206 to donate the modern (polystyrene?) grille to replace the total mess Tenite grill on the PT94 but the radio was almost perfect cosmetic condition, complete with back, stickers, and original rubber power cord in very good condition. My friend is good at molding plastic so he created a mold and molded a replacement for his basket case Tenite Grille.
It is interesting how tube values change, likely based on availability, depending on year. The PT94 had a 50L6 as the only Octal tube, while the 48PT206 had a 50A6 Output and the Octal 35Z5.

May all have a Blessed Christmas and Holiday Season and may our New Year see God's Blessings for peace, harmony and an end to COVID
