Hi Jeffrey,
the 902 has received a lot of attention since I acquired the set way back in 1988. The first unit to receive attention was the all band radio. A new four position function switch was made to replace the rather flimsy arrangement that was made for a radio chassis which was one that was most likely sourced from a table radio set. The new switch assembly was made to resemble the original part.
A much better TRF and timebase chassis was found to replace the rather comprimised unit the set came with.
More recently the K3 record player was replaced with a much better one.
So over the time the I've owned the set it has been worked on in order to bring it up to the original state as it left the factory in 1937.
902A Hi Peter, I don't own one but just added the extra information about the direct view model. The 12" "onion tube" as EMI called it was also used in studio monitors. First set to employ the KT44 line output valve.
Attachment shows the serial number plate on the 902.
