Reading this is giving me incentive to rebuild my 118RX two piece chairside with separate speaker. It really looks like a decent set with triode connected 42s in class A. The speaker in this set is 12 inches but is a pemanent magnet type, sort of like a big version of their farm set speakers. I wonder if this speaker will sound as good as the electrodynamics in the other versions of the 118. They apparently learned not to run high voltage and AC power through the speaker connecting cable by this time as it is only two conductor line cord in this set.
