If it looks as good as the image, great find...



Yep. It's as you see it. The exterior cabinet looks to have been very
well cared for. I removed the chassis and blew out the dust (taking
care not to disturb the asbestos mat) and carefully cleaned the face
(non-printed side) of the slide rule dial. I learned long ago to clean
the screened / printed side of a glass dial only as a last result, and
only then with utmost care. A recap should bring this set back to
operating condition. Interestingly, the line bypass cap had exploded
at some point in the radio's life, noted by cap shrapnel beneath the
chassis as well as a blackened mark on the asbestos mat.

This will be one of my more unique AC/DC sets.
