Just picked up a complete unit from about 1959 missing only the remote transmitter. Has mostly original Maggy tubes. Radio chassis works great. Only thing done to it was the filter cap replaced earlier by someone else. Tuning dial pointer motor works just fines and reverses. Motor on volume pot has open coil. I would like to find a replacement, but without the remote transmitter it would do no good. Would also like to find a replacement for the transmitter. These are probably fairly scarce, although with the way the amps are usually parted out, maybe there will be receiver chassis and transmitter sitting around collecting dust somewhere?? I hope!!
I have not yet fired up the two 12 tube power amps, but do not anticipate any problems. Will, of course, do so slowly, etc. Any comments welcome from others who may have had previous experience with these.
