I was lucky enough to find this 1936 top of the line silvertone 4588 on craiges list. 120 mile round trip got it to shop and started work on cabinet. Love that dial and design of cabinet, 13 tube set plays great after some caps were replaced and dial cord. . Cabinet was solid and just needed a refinish, thought I would share this with you guys.
