Well almost . I have a hard time finishing knobs ( bad habit ) This
radio has 10 tubes `3 6F6` , shadow meter , 5 bands and stands 20``
tall .
It was trashed real bad . The case looked like it had sat in 6`` of
water . The base wood parts were all twisted and starting to rot . Every
edge had lifted veneers .

The chassis had been repaired many times . The power transformer had
burned up so bad once it covered the entire chassis in brown soot to the
point it ran out of the bottom of the case through a open joint and onto
the table . Then after that happened someone piled another transformer
in it and kept using it .
It worked as is with hum when i got it .

Took me hours to clean that chassis . Under the bottom i had to resort
to oven cleaner to get that tar off in the corner where the transformer
was . Dont need to express all the hours into this case :-)

Please forgive the bad webtv picture
