46-1209
#1

Hi I am new to the Antique Radio Scene and just purchased a 46-1209 over the net off ebay.
Looks like its in pretty good shape. I was wondering if there was a going rate for a good condition
46-1209? I paid $99 plus shipping which was quite a bit -

That being said I have a very specific purpose for this radio that might make some here cringe.
I am going to update it - yes update it in ways that most here wont like. I plan to restore the cabinent
and gut the inside which will be replaced with a small computer and a touch screen that will be located
where the turntable was. Its a unique project that I would love to share here and receive advice on
restoration for the exterior.

Anyway I am wondering what good price is for the model I just bought that seems in better then average shape.

Thanks
Matt

Matt, Some will be a little upset about your project, but a post war with a phono probably isn't a really rare piece.
Might post your location so anybody close could get the chassis/speaker etc. Some of the parts are nice to have.
Questions on cabinet refinishing probably belong in the cabinet forum section. Lot of experts there.

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM
