Bought another console! Pictures added!
#10

Thank you Ron, I was apparently typing my response to T.A. as you were entering yours. Appears at some time early in life of my little girl she was totally restuffed with new tubes. I appreciate the information and will start the electrical restoration in a few weeks. Doubt that I will go totally "global", just fix what needs to be fixed. Those 45s certainly test very weak and would show nicely with globe tubes but, cost is high. If they really need replacement, ST tubes probably. As of right now with short runs at limited line voltage, seems to be adequate volume.
Going to be a fun project.
