I picked this radio up a couple months ago.
The cabinet / wood are in realtively good condition, but need to be refinished. I'm working on that now.
first question:
I ordered new decals, but don't know the location on the knob decals. (ie: volume, tuning, off - on - tone, and PB / BC / SW.) what is the order? top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right.
second question:
the guy I bought it from assured me the radio works and if it doesn't he'll replace it (I know the phono does not), but the speaker and amp(?) are missing. I'm guessing he removed them for another project, but he said it worked. I'm not concerned with originality (and please don't blast me) but is there a simple way to hook up a modern / in-expensive speaker? (just to see if it works?). Would I need an amp for a small speaker? The radio appears to work (all lights and tubes look operable).
