I thought I had an arrangement to restore this set for a customer but his wife said heck no.  Instead, he gave it to me.
Some say it's goofy looking, but it's one of my favorite early designs and I'll so my best to bring it back to life.

It's all there including the back.  CRT tests good

I love how primitive it looks. Note the tuner tubes are mounted under the chassis.

It also lacks fine tuning. I guess the thinking at the time was that it wasn't needed.

Bob;
Looks like another "Bumble Bee" special, like my Brand Z T.O radios. Is that section they took out of one side of the chassis to make space for the speaker or was that used is some other model that needed it for clearing the picture tube?
Regards
Arran

Oh yes, many bumblebees and loktal tubes.

The cutout is for the speaker.  Here's a photo from a different set.
