Yes, I do plan on using an AC supply to create the necessary DC voltages.

The cabinet and escutcheon are in good shape other than a hole someone drilled in the side! I plan on refinishing it very soon. I have all the toner lacquer, grain filler, etc on hand.
I hope it turns out as well as Ron's 650B

The one item I do need is a speaker. It uses an early style PM speaker I believe. I don't know what the impedance should be though.

Bob;
Are you sure that someone added that hole in the side, some high end battery sets had a push button mounted through the side that was used to activate the dial light while pressed.
