Hi Terry,

Quote:You wrote: Those AK power supplies are a bit of a scourge. The filter caps are buried in a gooey muck of tar. And an audio choke to maneuver around. Loads of laughs. I have a my self that someday I may get around to. I think I'd rather work on TV's. And I'm not that good at it. 

Boy, that's for sure. I keep the AK 37 Power Unit on my bench as a reminder that whatever else I'm working on, it's not as tough as that's gonna be.

Gorgeous cabinet job! And really nice work on the breadboard! Wow!
My cabinet looks a lot more like the 32B and 611 models. Yours has a cool scallop-style lower front plate and streamlined wrap-around sides - very chic for 1936. Is that also because it's a later version?
