I know this is an old thread, but a great one, Crist said speechless so am I. I just started a restoration project on this same radio. The cabinet needs refinishing, it is in good physical condition. The chassis on the other hand needs lots of work. Stuart Little lived here. The field coil is open, needs a tuner belt. The chassis needs a good cleaning and a paint job. Tuner needs to be soaked and cleaned, top of the chassis is yuk! I restored a Zenith chairside, the 6S137 will be much tougher than the chairside.
