Thanks all. To be honest I don’t know what to make of it being in this cabinet style but I like it a lot. I specifically wanted one of the four-column cabinets.
As for code 225, I have the chassis on the bench and have found this is a single band set with the 4-point tone control. So I’ve had to use the code 121 documentation on the RF part, and the code 126 documentation for the audio section. Very confusing at first but it’s working out fine. Other good news is that I was able to repair the power switch (someone had taken it apart and reassembled it wrong.) I'll put it back in after the dial is restrung, the Amazon guy is bringing the string today.
This is how I found it under chassis. I’m in the process of removing all the tacked-on caps and restuffing the Bakelite boats. Going well so far, except that I dropped the 36 tube cathode resistor to 8200 ohms and yet still only one of my five 36 tubes (all used) will oscillate all over the dial. Going to have to order a couple of NOS ones I think.
