Just finished this cabinet , I was a basket case got it last year at auction in Houston, 50 bucks
All though im having problems or should I say my electrical guys cannot get the oscillator to work. I know the basics on these tube radios thats it , I do all the easy stuff or grunt work as you call it. Dick gave up on it and now Mike is pulling his hair out to. I cant tell them what to do, me no nothing
He will figure it out or it will become a shelve queen
I threw in a bonus picture for Ron. Im still waiting on grill cloth for my 16b,s and Dick still has some work to do on one chassis, it,s sounds distorted and low on power and needs an alignment .

I wasn't sure because the part # had been cut away on the decal sheet and it looked at the time it was the right one, I threw the dice and lost

Join the club Fred, lol
I was doing Mikes 66 and Ron said the same thing. I ended up stripping and redoing it since it was not my cabinet.
