Spending more time with this chassis, I have a related question. At what point do you decide to use a chassis for parts instead of repairing? This one has a bad power transformer, bad volume pot, bad fourth RF coil, bad input transformer, and not one single working part for the Model H speaker: open VC, open field coil, open output transformer, shattered spider and disintegrated cone. I COULD source the transformers and pot and find a speaker (Gary at Playthings has them all listed), but the cost would be high. The lowboy cabinet is in pristine condition, though. I want to find the guy who repaired this set in the 40s and punch him.
