Welcome aboard, Paul! But don't thank me on the dial drive info, thank Richard Hines who supplied the text and photos. I just posted it all on his behalf. 
For those curious, the thread in question may be found here.

Welcome Paul!
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Yup 660L. I've only seen one other too, on the net and I think it's over on the left coast.

Nice 650H! I'd really like to find one of those someday! I really like the lyre design! I have a set of lyre back chairs this Radio would look good with in the same room someday!
If they're rare, though, if I was ambitious enough, I might try to make my own cabinet. 
I do have a 650X unrestored that looks pretty decent. It's an 8-tube if I recall, so it should be pretty decent sounding and a good performer!
Blessings,

Here's me 650 MX, that I've had for about 30 years. Found it in the local paper back then for $50 and restored it, as the finish was too far gone to save. That is the original speaker cloth! Lucky for me, as reproductions back then, weren't readily available. Seems to be a fairly uncommon model. Love that trap door dial on the 650 series!

Very Nice!!!
I was hoping to get busy on refinishing my 660L but the weather this spring/summer/fall was not very conducive to spraying lacquer. Spring is coming!!
