Almost put it back together, but need to glue the rod antenna base. Lots of stations across the SW.
Some knobs are cracked so I put the ones that are good to handle things like band switch, and others for volume/tone.
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.
