I was lucky enough to be given this radio from an ex-Ham who was cleaning out equipment. It appears to be in great shape and even though I haven't had time to open it up,I'm sure the inside looks as nice! This was a lower end priced radio when new but very popular receiver from the early 1950's. This was only owned previously by two people so that might explain the condition.
When I have more time I plan to do a visual inspection and will probably do a Capacitor replacement because they usually are dried out . It will be also slowly brought up to operating voltage with My variac. eventually i would like to pass this to a local young person interested in Radio- maybe a future Ham!!
