For this reason, we appreciate your understanding and understanding regarding the listing of this product… The exterior case is coated with oil stain and varnish in a similar color to bring out the wood grain. The case back is missing, etc. There is some wear and tear due to the passage of time since I first received it, but there are 2 pieces. There are also replacement dials and knobs, and the speaker cloth has been replaced and is in good condition. The vacuum tubes used are a total of 4 old ST tubes: UY-56 / UX-26B / UX-26B / KX-12F. For dial operation, there is a “power switch” on the left side of his case, and a “main variable condenser/playback variable condenser” switch is located at the top of the right front section. Regarding the main restoration work this time, there was a lot of damage when I first got it, so I thought about using it for parts (donor), but I decided to rebuild it this time. This can be restored to its original state by removing it, applying oil stain, and applying varnish. There was a contact failure in the power switch, which was repaired by applying contact revitalizer. Replace the power cord with outlet, speaker cord, and pilot lamp cord /. The center heater bias wires of the two UX-26Bs supplied from the power transformer were disconnected, so I repaired them. There was a disconnection in the power supply choke coil, and the 3K? /4W type resistor was restored to the installed state /. 1:3 The step-up transformer had a disconnection between B and P, so I installed an equivalent transformer that I had on hand. One of the UX-26Bs was in bad condition, so I replaced it with one that was in good condition. The electrolytic capacitor was in bad condition, so I replaced it with a new 22? F 450V x 2 /. The horseshoe speaker was out of stock, so I replaced it with an equivalent one in good condition. Remove antenna coil, check all cords and replace wire sheathing / Install appropriate resistors Adjust plate voltage of each tube /. There was corrosive contact between the fins of the variable capacitor, so I cleaned the fins and adjusted the shaft position to restore the condition. All rotating parts such as variable capacitors have been oil-maintained /. And it is considered a fully working item. By the way, the dimensions are width 31.5 cm / height 25.5 cm / total depth 19.5 cm, and the weight is approximately 5.5 kg. The third photo was taken while checking and cleaning the inside and outside of the wood case and the inside and outside of the chassis. Thank you for your understanding. Please check the Photo.
