I really like this odd little guy - PT-49 from 1941 (June 1940).

The Paragon

As an example of these sets, here is a photo taken by Carl Gelormini of one in great condition (apparently original finish). This is not my radio.  Icon_lol

The Patient

I picked this guy up on eBay. It's in...kind of rough shape:

And a bit clearer pic of the cabinet once I received it:
