Good Evening fellow Phorumanians,

I recently acquired a Sparton 581X AM Radio, circa 1940. My cousin passed away and the family wanted me to have it. Cabinet is in fine shape, although something gnawed away at one of the wax caps, a couple of wires, and the dial string. I have 3 Sams books on dial string winding, but they don't include this model. Would any of you fine folks happen to have a source I could reference? I'll have some photos shortly. Thanx!

Joe
