            So in testing the tubes and general cleanup of my 70, I have discovered a little history behind my radio. I’ve seen 4 or 5 station call letters printed in pencil on the dial scale. Turns out they were all Detroit area stations. Then I find this sticker on one-off my 24 tubes. It’s from some shop in Detroit also. There’s what I presume is the set owners name printed on the back arch support! I wonder about how it made its way to me from Detroit to the Kutztown swap meet 4-1/2 years ago?
 
 On another topic. What are you guys using for grille cloth? Looks like Richmond Designs is gone and I only find generic cloth on eBay! Thanks.
