New acquisition
#10

Ron,

I wasn't sure about the dial scale, it's way too dirty to read at this point, but I did notice the shadow meter location which kinda led me to believe it is upside down. It's almost like the hinge design was backwards. If it was on the other way everything would be correct. However, the cabinet is notched out to accept the hinge, so it really can't be reversed. Almost makes you think someone goofed big that's why they stopped producing them, maybe?? also noticed on a second look at the chassis it has an outlet too, I'm guessing for a lamp, and someone in the past cut the speaker wires Icon_sad . nothing that can't be repaired.
There was a post awhile back on cleaning these dial scales. I don't remember what the consensus was to get it clean without removing the markings. Could someone please refresh my memory, it isn't what it used to be. Icon_smile
Glenn

Happily back in Illinois..not.
