I picked this thing up on ebay last week. Did some cursory measurements and let her rip. Had a bad 24A tube. Replaced it and it played very well. The power transformer has been replaced along time ago. It had been leaking abit of wax so I thought it would be a good idea to recap it. Had the bank out and rebuilt in an hour or so. Onward to a half dozen other cap under the chassis.
