I bought it almost exactly 2 years ago, April 2016.
Eventually I thought of it...and put it on the bench.
The radio is not in the worst of shape, in fact it is in pretty decent one, structurally good. The dial has a crack but Ron gave me a good one so I'm ok in this department.
Pulling out was easy after the loop antenna removal. For about 2 minutes I could not understand why it wasn't coming out, then realized I did not remove the knobs.
That's what one Guinness can to even a fairly experienced person.
Initial photos.
As can be seen, some caps are those "black beauties / bumblebees", and I wonder - are those original or were those results of a repair(s)?
Well, I will start on the recap tomorrow.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
