Great find, Gary, congratulations!
When restoring the set, I strongly advise you to change the wiring of the off-on switch so that it switches the hot side of the line instead of the neutral side as designed (most AC/DC radios were designed this way, with the neutral having thew switch instead of the hot). Use a polarized AC plug on a new cord. The neutral lead goes to the wide blade of the plug.
Have fun with it - and remember to never touch the hot chassis when the set is in operation!
