At first thought the knobs are worth what I paid for the set. It was a 2 1/2 hr drive round trip + tolls. The sides are pretty good with some loose edges but all in all still tight. The center center section on the top is shot and the sub is a little loose. I think that piece is walnut and the sides are mahogany. Any way I should have some small pieces to fix that.
The chassis seem to be clean but missing 3 42 tubes and the 80.Speaker is shot but it has the older style with a screwed down cone so if all else is good and the spider is ok reconing is easy on this one. The output transformer has been replaced. Think I will be a fun project but don't know when I'll get to it...
