Any one out there have one? I'm about to pick one up after an about 500 mile round trip if it looks as good as the pictures. Otherwise I will spend a couple of days with my wife spending the money in Las Vegas. I know it needs one knob that will take a long time to possibly find. Other than that and grill cloth, who knows what else inside. Should be fun to try to bring back and may take me to the end of my career restoring. Note, I'm not collecting for those that read the Phorum. So any one else have one of these radios?

Well, I think it is a fantastic looking set. Icon_thumbupIcon_thumbup

No idea how difficult the electronics are. A TRF is a simple set, but the construction techniques of the period can make for a challenging resto.

Good luck, and keep us posted!
