TA Forbes,
I read about the flash tuning, but have not powered this up yet. There is a burned resistor under the chassis. And yes that toothed metal piece is pretty flimsy so I know you have to be careful not to bend that up when working on the set.
y2kbruce,
No, I wasn't aware of how you could determine the maker. Thanks for that info! I will see what I can find on this chassis.
w4rtc,
Yes, that speaker does have some weight to it. I removed it to clean it and the soundboard to clean the grille cloth. This is the first radio I have seen that uses SCREWS to hold the speaker in place instead of studs with nuts.
I have now found two other pictures of this model, they both have goat tube shields, so Arran is correct on that. Now I will need to locate some of those to put it back the way it should be.
Thanks to everyone for the kind comments!
