Acquired this yesterday. Not really my first choice in a radio, I prefer pre-war stuff mostly, but it had several things going for it. First it works, it was free and it's in pretty decent shape, and it is an interesting looking piece. Sort of looks like a car radio put into a wooden box. My cousin, who was 52, recently died from lung cancer. He owned it. Don't know why, he was a huge Indy 500 fan and not really into radios as far as I know. He only owned two. This one and a portable transistor model. Don't know where or why he got it. My uncle offered it to me as he knows I collect old radios and stuff. I'll get it restored and working and keep it in the family.
