I think this radio might be worth rebuilding as even my radio repair friend was surprised to hear it was a console. He's worked on several of these sets, even with the same chassis and has never seen a console version before. And yes, he said about 90% of the Delcos he has worked on have been plugged into 120, so he knows what to expect. I was trying to figure out how they developed the 'B' voltage as that is sometimes an issue on a battery set, but this set is pure genius! Instead of using a complicated set-up to get really high voltage, it appears that they just simply used the 32 volts available for the 'B' voltages. That explains the simplicity under the chassis. I like these critters!
