May look just another cheap old radio but it was my mother's childhood radio and I know she would get a kick out of hearing it play again. And can anyone figure out why the dial shows a mirror image of its' self below. There doesn't seem to be any difference, or am i missing something obvious.?

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
