Phil I 53-566
#4

eBay sellers mostly have no clue what they are about. Right - this seems a standard AA5 design. I plan to leave this as us and not rewire the power switch etc. I’ll add a polarized plug, probably restuff the power supply cap for space reasons and just do the standard cap/resistor checks and replacement.
Can’t think of anything else really needs to be done other than stabilizing that crack and polishing the case.
Just sort of a cool looking design - the other 1953 models were not nearly this Space Age looking. I see these repainted in wild colors but I’ll leave it as found.
