Northern Electric Vimy console
#1

Well, I have been completing various project around the farm, some that have been sitting incomplete for many years. And one was to complete the wood working room in my shop. And...now it's finally done! 

So, the first large project I'm starting is the rebuild of a radio that's been waiting for about 12 years. It's a Northern Electric 1321A Vimy, built in 1938. It was the top-o-the-line set for that year, 13 tubes, allwave reception, high fidelity, and station presets. It is so named to commemorate the Canadian victory at Vimy Ridge in the First World War. A bit eerie, being that Canada would be engaged in the second great war in the matter of a year after it was sold...
