Turns out the gentleman who does my chassis work for me emailed me the day I bought this radio and asked if I had anything that needed some work. Perfect timing! I brought this over for him to look at. He thought it was a very nice looking unit and said "let's take it inside and hook it up to the Variac". It does work but is going to be given some new caps, tubes checked, etc. Magic eye also works. Appears to be a 1938 model. Chassis is super clean underneath but will be a "bear to work on since everything is buried". Supposedly a very nice and well made unit. I will keep everyone posted. Need to find a couple of original Pilot knobs.
