Oh ya. Here is what I listen to while working on the 96.
This is the exact condition i remember this radio in as a kid. the "R IV" you see on the front stands for Ranger IV. this was a space program in 1962 designed to crash a spacecraft onto the moon. Brother Rog, who had the radio at his workbench in the basement and who's initials are on the chassis, was a follower of all rocket launches. He now has has Alzheimer's but got a big kick out of seeing his old radio in working condition again. the radio is working great even though almost all of the tubes measure way below the rejection level on a HeathKit TT-1 Mutual Conductance tube tester. I wonder what it would do with stronger tubes!
