Hello Mike,
It was complete apart from the power unit and the cabinet is not in bad condition either. I have an isloation transformer with 240 Vac in and 240 Vac out that fits under the chassis and a small 6.3 Volt trasnformer for the heaters to be mounted above the chassis. I didn't like the original design of transformer on top and rectifier on top of that as it made it look unbalanced. The fact that it wont be historically accurate doesn't bother me, because they are common enough. I just want to see it working and good for another 75 years. The re-spraying of the variable capacitor called for some careful masking with paper tape, but managed it OK. I haven't done any radio for months. I expect somneone will be along shortly to tell me I am doing it wrong!
