"make sure to use an anti-fungal cleaning solution before applying any Watco oil -it will get rid of the musty smell on wood - " +1 big time on this, use Chlorox also, the two will do wonders.

Are there any functional deficiencies/corrections which should be made?

Perhaps a cochlear implant or two could help.

GREASE GUNS! Aauugghh!! Once per year for the last ten years.....and again tonight! Stupid things!!!!!!!! This helps alot and very much in the moment of trauma:

Would perhaps the ZXPC 11X17 be a good place to start for this driver? They'll be used in conjunction with LsScala bass bins. Any suggestions for consideration on another low cost/good match?

Thanks. that helps! 😊

OK! Me too very much on the pass...but for those who have the gump (& cash)!

What does this mean relative to the KPT-200 specs: "SMPTE/ISO 2696 X-curve de-emphasis" Kind thanks for helping me to understand 😁!

Just switch it out with a new one...the rebuild option is barely a band aid as the thing has seen it's useful life and all the parts that go with it have also. There is comfort in knowing that the H2O heater is new and in good condition for years to come! Replacing water heater is usually a full day job for the uninitiated but can save a lot of dough if it is a DIY. 🙂

Sorry for the delay in responding; so the bakelite top on this one is has minor discoloration and the back safety cover (cardboard with holes) is missing; here are stock photos of the same unit model (not this actual one): https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/northam_norelco_b5x68a.html Guessing shipping at $60 +/- $10.

which I picked up today. I'll send it to you for 1/2 the price of shipping, you pay the other 1/2 price for shipping, check or Paypal: -Norelco -type B5x 68A 50HZ 65W A10937 About 25 pounds or so. A decent candidate for restoration or as a donor. The bakelite is discolored on top but otherwise all parts appear to be all there, needs cleaned. I know you want photographs and I'd do it (maybe) for someone who is seriously interested in the unit. This radio is something I know nothing about but am happy to pass it on and verbally answer any and all questions as factually as possible 🤨. Perhaps a "piece" for the right party!

Ohhhh Ok I'll try that...
