Thank you Hertzz! I will recap it soon when I done of restore my MC30 pair.
here's mine - a 1956 HF66 hi fi that my Dad bought. It has PP 6V6's in it and 4 Jensen drivers (a 15" woofer and 3 4" tweeters)
I just rebuilt the amp, cleaned the TT up and replaced the stylus. It sounds quite good.

That is just lovely! If you look back to the first page of this thread, it looks very much like my mono unit. But yours looks to be in even better condition and you have a personal connection with its history which makes it even more special. Cherish it (and the memories associated with it), enjoy it and pass it down within your family when the time comes.
Yeah, Glenn Miller! :thmbsp:

Picked up the SK54 today - looks great and works 100%, even the tape input (which I plan on using via my Marantz 2230 which has my turntable / reel to reel / etc. hooked up to it
Thing sounds great though

ok picked up the sk79 today. trhe cabinet will be here in a day or 2 but i do have the amp. the output trannies seem so tiny but there are a ton of 6V6GTA tubes in this thing.
not so sure i am all that impressed with the electronics in this one, it does have the vibrasonic feature. The cab is in decent shape, love the styling of this drexel... the cab pic from the ad, will post better pics soon

OK,
Went and checked out the SK31 today after work. Really did not like it but this is a run down of what it had in the way of hardware. Basically the same tuner, preamp and amp as Relaximus's SK28. It also had a 15" Jensen woofer in center cabinet. The 2 speaker cabs each housed 2 golden voice mid-range drivers and 2 Jensen tweeters.
The speaker cabs were maybe a foot deep if that and had the fiber-board backs with the big holes like all the moto consoles I have seen. It was in decent shape although pretty dirty. Seller would not back down from asking price enough to tempt me..
