Pete's right.  The underneath view has a high-school-shop-class look to it.
$875 [price in B&W's advert in 11/63 issue of 73] works out to $6786 in last
year's dollars.  *I* wouldn't pay ~$7K for a rig that looked that junky
underneath...I wonder if they were all that sloppy looking?  Now I'm afraid
to look under my recently-acquired one...but now I gotta HI HI  73, Brian

Looking at the bottom chassis view of S/N 227 (there isn't one for S/N 283)
I'm not very impressed, it almost looks like someone found a bunch of stuff
in their basement and sloppily wired it all up.
Was B&W highly considered when it came out ? -pete
