Feedback for 42 355T
#4

The push pull setup these sets had was mostly for improving fidelity and reducing harmonic distortion, not for output power. I think that the undistorted power output is 5 watts or under, the plate and screen grids are running at a B+ of 180 volts, and not having a proper phase invertor also impeads power output. It's more then adequate for a table radio with a 5 or 6 inch speaker though. Reproduction plastic escutcheons are available from a few sources, Larry Bordanaro being one of them, make sure you get the 1942 escutcheon and not the 1941 version, you may need the pushbuttons as well.
