BTW, the chassis has been completely recapped, and all out of tolerance resistors replaced, as well as a new cloth covered cord. It works like a champ. The one small tear in the speaker was an easy fix.

Also, the -250 got here yesterday. It's nicer than the pictures showed. Cabinet should look very nice with some Scott's Liquid Gold. The FM does work, though the bandswitch is noisy, and the calibration is off a MHz or so (my 43.1 signal comes in at 44.2 or so). Should be a snap to realign. First one of these series of sets I've had where the AMBCB calibration is almost spot on. Always had trouble with the bottom end.
