Here's one of Tom's photos, showing the power transformer.

This looks like someone was trying to fix it up, but gave up on it. The front panel and dial scale look new.

Interesting that they installed 45 tubes in place of the 71A tubes. I wonder why, since someone went to the trouble of installing a power transformer to convert the 46 to AC operation, they didn't go ahead and change the 14 tubes to 24A tubes, and the 17 to a 27?
