Curious how the rectifier tube and the filter condenser can seem to have swapped holes in the 640X, at least according to the tube location chart.
It looks like someone intentionally loosened the top on that 640X, there should be some screws holding it on but those appear to have been taken out. The 640X cabinet itself, while the finish is obviously shot, doesn't look like it suffered any major water damage.
Regards
Arran
