Thanks for posting this thread. I just got a Model 112 Lowboy today for $100, but with a badly water-damaged top. It is almost certain that I will have to replace the top veneer.

There are several threads here on similar radios. One is mine on 111 which uses the same chassis.
My problem was: every single transformer other than the power one was open.
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.
