Tim, Chuck sure knows the stuff on these. It's been about three years ago that I helped my friend with his.
I do recall that the sound with the chassis on the bench w/speaker on the board was very non-impressive. The sound was only marginally better when mounted in the cabinet............What a difference when the back was installed. ( now i understand why.)
I remember the toughest part of my restoration was all of the caps/blocks in this chassis. Not to mention completely rewiring all of the dial light assemblies. ( it seems that over half of the lamp sockets had shorted internally)
