This radio is in much better shape than others I’ve seen. Nothing broken or damaged in any way. Everything is there except for the Time Map inside the front drop-down compartment. Appear to have a base under the radio; I don’t have that. Resistor R18 has been replaced and nothing else. The tube filaments work and their plate voltages are normal. I sprayed, with contact cleaner, the band switch which made the oscillator work with a beautiful sine wave. Only the broadcast band was tested using the equivalent of the batteries (10.5V and 90V) from external power supplies. I will include the diagrams collected, the removed R18, and what’s left of the battery cable (with some new wire, of the proper colors, in that bag). The electrolytic cans can be restored with your new caps inside the existing cans (lots of work but very cool). I had a few various caps that would work in my pile of stuff so they are in the bag too.

This will play as long as you hold on to the antenna wire in the back and the tuning button. This came from a Estate Sale and was being work on so the 1 antenna wire is not hook up I would say that is the trouble and this is missing the 6 push buttons on the side and the 2 knobs. The case is in good shape as for as I can tell. All of the buttons seem to work OK. Both Antenna’s looks to be in good shape. It is old and used so does have some ware. What you see in the pictures is what you are getting so look good. This is a nice piece of History and after being Restored would make a wonderful addition to your Old Antique Radio Collection.
