Groundhog, that is just a lovely radio and the style I like. The price was exceptional. Just a classic looking radio from the era. No tubes, well, unless there are a pair of 45s, should be very reasonable to restuff it. I would have preferred something similar without the turntable but it looks like that one is complete. You just done good! I would go for that over a 12 tube Zenith. I love that screen "door" on the back. Same as my Fada 46. I hope you don't encounter and pot metal problems as I did.

There are a pair of 245s in mine but mine has the B-Tully radio. Must be a month or two newer than yours.
You will probably need to re-rubber and re-magnetize the pick-up.

Tube lineup looks like 4- 24's, a 27, an 80, 2- 45's and a "regulator" tube. I got a deal on a pair of 45's last fall on the bay for my Philco 95 Lowboy...I'll just keep watching. Have to figure out what the regulator tube is.

Ballast. What number is it supposed to be?

Looks like it's supposed to be a D-110.

Does anyone know if the metal parts, dial escutcheon, tone arm, medallion, needle cups, etc. are brass, brass plated or what? I'd like to clean/polish them up but not sure how they are made and what to use when restoring. Thanks for any help.

I'll look, but I think that they are nickel plated and can be cleaned if you don't get too aggressive.

I would clean them, but be very careful about polishing them, particularly the dial escutcheon. In spite of what many think a lot of trim parts on old radios and phonographs were not supposed to bright metal to start with, they left the factory with a matte, an antiqued, or sometimes a blued finish. If that Brunswick were mine I would give that stuff a cleaning but leave it alone, it looks very nice as it is.

As far as I can tell everything is original. There are a few flaws in the finish that do not show up on camera, small pieces of veneer chipped out on an egde etc., but nothing major. Should clean up very nicely. I thought for the price I got it for, a 2 hour drive was worth it. The only things I have noticed during initial cleaning are the power cord is frayed in a couple of places (no biggie) and the dial scale is popped loose from the tiny rivets that hold it in place at both ends, the center rivets are still holding. I found a source for a reproduction of the original owner's manual, and I will order it soon. The felt on the turntable is in really good shape, but extremely dirty. A good cleaning with something (?) will probably make a huge difference in it's appearance. Hopefully I can collect all the tubes I need soon and start on getting it working.....along with the other half dozen radios that need fixed.
