Surprisingly, the S-22 was there nearby the RCA R-7, at the end of the Kutztown. No one wanted them. I ended up with the R-7.
I do not know if it will sound well with that large inductance missing, but I am sure at a moderate volume it should. That inductance was there to compensate for the shortcomings of the 2nd Detector driver driving the interstage. What I heard sounded OK, and this was without the cabinet. Then again, I do not expect this to be something stellar. It fell in my lap (ouch!) and looked good enough to keep, soo I will be satisfied if it simply works well enough.
I will save my resolve for the RCA140.

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.
