Boy what a nice looking set!!!
I'll mention in passing and this goes for any battery sets older like your's or portable if you run it on batteries after you have done all of the electronics turn the set off and measure current from B- to - on the B battery. You want to be sure that your set isn't drawing any current when it's turned off. If it is it will run your B batteries down or kill them.
I had a Silvertone Neotrodyne that had a leaking bypass cap and that little son of a gun ran down 3 big old 45vB batteries I had bought new for like $15 or 20 this was back in the 1970's.
Great Job!
Terry
