I have the Canadian General Electric version of this set, it's called an M 61, has a square dial and a different cabinet design. I really should restore the set as it seems to be all there, I've heard that they are good performers. Some knucklehead added a phone jack to it and a double pole double throw bat switch in place of the rotary power switch to turn on the power, to switch out the radio and switch in the phono jack, I've removed most of that garbage. Did the speaker in your 128 have a metal baffle over the back to make the speaker look larger?
Regards
Arran
