Well I kinda gotta do up this old dog! It was my Mothers Radio and sat in her kitchen when I was a kid growing up. She passed away couple years ago and I found it boxed up in her attic. Looks like something got dropped on it and she may have tried to fix it with some kind of glue.
It is not very often that a guy gets to restore the same old radio twice in his lifetime. I did a complete recap and a tune up on this radio back in the late 60's. It still had the old White capacitors in there that I bought from Lafayette Radio.
I did see a pretty good looking 48-200 (same model) on ebay a couple months ago for $20 and I almost bought it just for the case. I'll use this for plan B if I can't get a good fix with epoxy. If I get a good fix that will hold, I'll document with pics and post here.
