I have had this radio for about a year and I finally got to it.
With 16 tubes it is a monster.but I finally got it recapped.
As with many radios,other people have been in there. On this radio someone had cut all
four wires coming from the compensator pack ,and changed the tone control.
It also does not have any wires going to the SPEECH and MUSIC bulbs but that is OK
It plays good now except for the motorized tuning, and I fiddled with it for over an hour. The motor works great.
I find that after I get a station set up according to the instructions,, it stops short of the station. I believe that there is some slack in the connections.
BUT the main thing is the radio plays good and I can live with manual tuning.
The next thing is the cabinet,if the weather here ever gets warm again.
Yesterday it was 35 F with radio.
OH well
