The 87 finally done and in its new location, in the Living room in the same spot it was intended when the house was built. Antenna and ground built in the house, terminals in the wall. Plays great although a little sensitive for the XM/Xmitter set up. Really no volume control.

Wow! Love your Parlor Corner. Looks like it's always been there...

Shorten the length of your transmitter to "kill" some of the signal overload or put it at the other end of the house.

Ahhh, very nice period looking photo.
I love the look of B&W photos. Two people in the chairs, looking at the radio in period clothes would top it off Icon_smile

Nice job on the radio.
Take care,
Gary
