Looks like it may be quicker to strip that chassis on account of the amount of rust & pitting. That pitting may get worse from the rust treatment, but if you do not get rid of the rust & corrosion in the pits, it will continue & wreck the project again. |

The good news is that it isn't as bad underneath. The light globe is in an odd location. Was that to light up the tuning dial or included as a current limiter? ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ A valve a day keeps the transistor away... |

That's a challenge and a half. I trust you obtained it free of charge. |

Sort of fairly cheap. Yes that bulb is a current limiter. I am t9ld the cabinet is a challenge but entirely doable. |

From the chassis looks like the battery equivalent of a 633 - not in a position to look that up at the moment, but I should have the circuit. Will be a heroic effort to fully restore. I couldn't find the zebra pattern veneer a couple of years ago. But will be a good performer given it has an RF stage. Good luck! |

Steve Savell's STC book describes the 532R as a 5 valve mantel set with tri-wave and vibrator power supply. |
