- I got an email from a viewer who use to repair radios and has since retired. He forwarded me an email from a lady who wanted to give someone her husbands radio collection or she was going to throw all of it away. He got sick or passed. Not sure. This is one of the more whole sets out of that collection.It was one of many he had waiting to be restored it was in pieces like most of them were. Can we get it working again? Enjoy!
That radio was stiil good enough to bring it back to working order. I'm confident she'll be happy.
A quick Thank you! I was working on the same radio and mine had a broken dial cord as well. You helped me get it restrung! I enjoy watching your videos!
I'm really glad to see you save these radios. They were so lucky to have found you. It's obvious to me what this guys wife thought of her husband's hobby.
Very cool, I can't wait to see what's in the rest of the boxes.
Really good to see you back. That little RCA has great potential. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you're back and another radio lives again! Can't wait to see what else you picked up in this haul.
A major radio archive site to look up this model shows a 16X11 instead of the 16X4 you have and correctly so. Nice to see
you are back BTW.
Nice to see you're back.
I missed you, Thanks for the upload!
That could be a nice looking set.
I love the "junkers" and tend to pick up those to repair. In my experience, most have been diamonds in the rough, and I get to decide what level to bring it back up to cosmetically speaking. I wouldn't want it to look like some reproduction with Bluetooth from overseas.
That is the correct grill cloth.I have the same set.
Did a yeoman's job saving that radio from the landfill.
Ha! That'll be my wife in a few years!
I have one Just Like this one, All tubes Light, No sound though. Wish i could Get Mine fixed.
I like to take large tabletop radios like that that are junkers that are kind of not really worth restoring and turn them into guitar amps so if you have any of those basket cases where you don't feel like it's worth restoring to a good workable radio. Even if the chassis is missing and it's just the wooden shell I can make a chassis out of sheet metal and source transformers. Maybe we can work something out. It sounds like you're in the South you might not be too far away from me
I wish someone would leave me boxes of parts
