I have restored a 39-35X that is one of my first and the favorite of my small collection. Decent sound but fabulously sensitive and selective especially on SW with just a long wire antenna. Reproduction dial scale from Radio Daze is spot on. Make sure to get the LONG red wine push buttons for 1939 models as the buttons for '40 and '41 are too short and won't work. I've also mounted a piece of clear flat glass behind the escutcheon instead of the usual plastic dial cover, same as a 40-180. Ron's page on call letter tabs is also very helpful. WARNING! If you clean the light socket assembly with contact cleaner, it will turn to mush and expect to have to do Ron's socket rebuild.
