I have never heard one of these in operation, and this is only the second 41-788 I've ever seen - first one was many years ago at a swap meet in Dayton, Ohio.

The speaker is an 8 inch unit, btw. It is rated at 8 watts audio output, close to 116B territory (10 watts output) and higher than a huge Philco console of the same model year, Model 41-300, which was rated at only 5 watts output!

I once restored a 53-960 for a client, the last of the big Tropic multiband sets. The individual spread bands for the various shortwave bands are really great for tuning in shortwave stations with the utmost of ease - just like tuning in AM stations. This 41-788 should be no different, just larger and with more tubes.

Thanks for the offer of shipping, Tex, and I would likewise be happy to do the same for you should you ever buy something in southern Indiana that you could not live without.
