Ron,
  Here is a quick pic from my wife's cell phone. The pic makes it look a lot better. But still exciting from a radio standpoint.
Ron ,
You were the first person that I thought of.

Henry - whatever you do, do not - do not - do not attempt to straighten the warped grille bars. You'll be sorry! I would say "don't ask how I know" but you know this already.

Great find! Icon_thumbup Yes, photos can often make a radio (or just about anything) look better than it really is.
