[Boatanchors] Expecting a 'new arrival' here (Scott RB-2)

[Philip (KO6BB)]

Hi All,
Well, here I thought I was  through with lifting, moving and using the 
"back-breakers" we lovingly call boatanchors.  No such luck ;-)  Only, 
it appears my next one is a REAL back-breaker, an  EH Scott RB-2 Navy 
morale receiver in (reportedly) nice condition, in the factory cabinet!  
The man who has it will be dropping it off Wednesday afternoon (I 
haven't yet seen the set).

While I haven't seen it, it's supposed to be nice and clean, no rust 
etc, BUT with one mod, which I will probably reverse.  Someone removed 
the 6V6 audio output tube and installed a circuit board containing PP 
6AQ5s and a phase inverter 12AX7, mounting it to the holes where the 6V6 
tube socket was mounted.  He said the job was so nicely done he thought 
it was "factory".  I told him no, it wouldn't have been factory. . . 

After much searching, I located a DJVU service manual file on it (BAMA 
is down right now).  So at least I have that information available now.

Any information and/or tips you can give me would be welcome.
