Thank you all for the complements on my work, I always loved antique radios and have messed around with them since I was 13 or so. I haven't had a lot of time to restore them even though I have restored a hand full with the help of an old friend who owned his own electronic communication business and had shut the doors 5 years ago. I have been painting high end cars for the last 15 years, lost my job 6 months ago and now trying to find new job . Its been kinda tuff to do that being 57 and feeling somewhat tired lately. Im going to get a physical next week at the veterans hospital here in Dallas , haven't had one in long time. I fell in love with a admiral console radio when I was 13 . My first radio , payed 2.00$ at garage sale and hauled it home in my radio flyer wagon. That was back in 1971. Believe it or not I still have the radio and just gave it a tune up and paint job, its hard to believe I still have it after all those years. I will post pics of admiral console Thanks again All for the nice comments on my radios. Admiral is 1937 model 11s I think.

You too? I've been out of work for just over six months myself, I'll be 55 next week. Employers only want those young whipper-snappers, it seems.
Good luck to both of us in the job search, and good luck with your physical, Fred.

So I quit , I could not prove that to HR and was left with no unemployment benefits . So being 56 at the time I took out 23.000 $ from 401 and payed off my house . I worry about what lies ahead , I do know I will find another job but in the mean time its a lonely road. Once you turn 55 you can get your 401 money without 10% penalty,but you have to quit, get fired or layed off to qualify for that.
