Starting on a Model 20
#3

Thanks for the information to the website, Mr. Forbes. I've read enough of your posts to know that you've probably forgotten more about this old girl than I'll ever know!! Seems my initial assessment of this radio may have been a little critical. Other than the holes in the cabinet and one small piece of grillwork missing, it's not in bad shape for 80 years old. (I should be so lucky at that age!) No major problems jump out at me with the chassis. I did notice that it had a dial lamp, but no bulb, and is not on the schematic. Any idea what bulb it should have? It is also missing the tube shield for the 24's. If anyone has one laying around, I'd like to hear from you! The speaker is intact, but had some repairs made to the cone. I'll think about re-coning it down the road. I also noticed the resistors in the set don't have the color coding I expected to see. Just grey tubes with what looks like zinc castings on each end. I'm going to replace them and then start on the caps. Plenty of bakelites in there to rebuild, and the infamous tar can! Thank again. Gary.
