Picked this up because the cabinet was built by a Grand Rapids, MI furniture factory noted for very ornate furniture - Berkey and Gay. I had never even heard of a Balkeit radio, part of Pfansteihl. It's a 9 tube TRF with a phonograph. Unfortunately, there's a lot of pot metal in the tuner assembly and some of it is falling apart. It will be a challenge when I decide to start on this thing. Looks like some lathe work at the very least.
