Dragged this home thought i got a good deal the prev owner was a retired tv/radio repairman collector that rebuilt the filter pack and replaced any drifted resistors i replaced the ratty power cord and it does need some tubes since a few are weak. It did come with some neat items like a instruction manual and a screen grid tag. 
Plays well with loads of volume and really surprised me over the performance i am impressed.

Awesome finds Jake!

It would be great if you can scan and upload the instructions and tag to the Downloads section.
Both of those items are quite rare to find now - much rarer than the radios themselves.

I'm happy to help if needed.

Beautiful radio.

I have been looking for one of those, either with Forest grill cloth or the latticework.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
