Well you are right about doing the 1930's RCA and GE sets in layers, as well as planning ahead. I took it slow and made detailed drawings. The set is working well but I need to go back deep inside sometime. Someone mentioned that it is important to add 2 resistors to protect an interstage transformer that often goes bad. I just don't want to remove that top coil assembly again to get deeply inside. Most of the RCA 140's or GE K80's (same set) are found with that transformer open. It is a great sounding and performing set but if it ever quits working I'll probably just leave it be.
I know Electrohome made some quality stereo items. I saw a couple of beautiful Electrohome mono block amplifiers on Ebay about a year ago. They sold for a lot of money and were very well constructed. I guess there is good and bad with most companies.
Hope you get the Electrohome set finished soon.
