When I was a kid I had an Arvin given to me by an older couple that I knew. I was totally inept and couldn't figure out why it didn't work. For one thing, a tube was missing! Mostly it needed filter caps, had a terrible hum that would wake the dead. That one is long gone; I later found the same set branded as a Penncrest and should have bought it. Those had a decent wooden case. I do have a plastic case Arvin that I got from a TV shop. It has a problem that causes it to blow the rectifier filament. (I think I'm remembering that right) That set is very similiar to the one you have.

I've had several transistor Arvin stereos...I like 'em.
