Could not pass up this one that showed up on the BB at work. Older lady downsizing and her husband bought it new in 1947. I am picking it up next week so the photos below will need to do until then.

From the photos this sure looks to be one beautiful cabinet and a hi-end kind of rare console from the twilight years of great AM-FM-SW consoles.

Let me know any tips, tricks or items to look for when I pick it up.

Thanks,

Mike
