You can tell that A.K's quality was already on the downward slide by the time this set was made, but not consistently so. The dial mechanism and the pilot lamp sockets are ridiculously overbuilt for their purpose, then connect them up with rubber wire, and use cheap wafer sockets in the rest of the radio. The one that Joernone fixed up on you tube was a model 145, I could not believe how thoughtless the design was of the IF cans.
