Great update! It looks like it deserves a place of honor. I am currently working on a Philharmonic that the boss will not consider for formal rooms. She rightly pointed out that I already have 3 rooms (spare bedroom/ ham shack, basement, and garage). Just finished replacing all cap's in power supply. Next the electrolytics in the tuner & then I will dare to power it up slowly.

I got it in my living room 2 hours ago and checked it all over. Turns out both 5U4 rectifiers were missing.

 

I popped 2 new ones in and VOILA-it came alive at 70 volts on my variac and sounds great. The 4-6L6 outputs and the 15" woofer and the very valuable horn sound wonderful. The cabinetry is very high quality, similar to my Chippendale Grande from 1940 with the Philly I got from Bill Liers.

Nice! Are you still working on getting it accepted in the living room?
