    So I saved some money and sent the chassis and enclosure to a local professional -He replaced caps, resistors, bad tube, fixed some broken insulation, you know the normal stuff in a 74 year old radio. 

The tuning section only required cleaning and the presets actually were still spot on!!!

at night, on the east end of Long Island, NY, the dial comes alive with broadcast and SW stations. Last night the kids listened to the Red Sox BB game and some music from 1500 Am out of Pittsburgh. 

Absolutely amazing, and my 16 year old daughter pinky promised me that she would get the radio when it was time to move it.

That's special!
