I just finished up electrically restoring a FM 12A as well. The pp 6L6's really put out some sound. Interestingly the 12A has the ultra-short wave band or the early television band up to 70,000 kc. I actually did hear a couple of stations from Japan (I think) when testing he band out. The cabinet on the other hand, is in bad shape but I must save it because I have never seen another 12A, and so far no one has been able to provide any pictures or info on it.
I took a scan of an original sales tag from an 8A and created one for my 9A. When I get a chance I will post it.
Good luck with the restore, the chassis is big with plenty of room to work. If it has any of the original Fairbanks Morse labeled caps, keep them!
