So a couple of years ago I picked up a Crosley Bandbox aka model 601. Tiz a battery set from about 1927-28. I don't know why I guess I felt sorry for it. Metal case was pretty good but inside was a different story. Internet image:

After some disassembly I found that pretty much all of the pot metal parts were kaput!! Tuning caps dial drive and such badly disfigured.
So does this poor little guy have a chance??? Is it curtains for the Crosley???
While I'm mulling it over I gave the tuning cap cover a coat of copper hammertone paint after removing the rust.
Tune in for the next installment.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
