37-690
#20

Here's a rear photo of the set. Very dusty but clean under the dust and it is a working set. The set is completely original except for one thing......
if you look to the right of the speaker you will see the output transformer that is taking the place of the one on the speaker. I checked and the transformer on the speaker is still perfectly good!

The one mounted is a OTC LS-57 (with an unusual side mount)which is highly wanted by people who build triode tube amplifiers. Very strange that this is on here and that it uses the exact same type and color of wire as the original speaker/transformer. These transformers sell in the $300 - $500 range. Why it is on here when the other is perfectly good, and AM has a limited frequency response is a mystery.
