Nice looking chassis, Geoff.
Once you align it, it'll bring in tond of SW band stations. Not that itr does much good - I do not speak Chinese, Japanese, or much Spanish, and I do not listen to Russian station ""Voice of Moscow" especially in view of its political orientation.
But it's nice.
I tell you more: I found out that two of the tubes were ion the red zone when tested, one a bit and another one quite a bit.
I changed them for NOS (tested stellar). No effect. The radio picks up the same stations at the same sgtrength, so it is fairly well designed.
Oh, and don't forget - you should liosten to your SW on the ""long distance' setting and not "local". Thios way it is waaaay more sensitive.
