Hello everyone, tomorrow morning I will be acquring a 1936 RCA 5T Tombstone Radio that the cabinet is in really nice shape yet but the radio's functionality is unknown as the original cord is no longer in good enough condition to plug in and I'm assuming the usual bad caps and possibly some bad resistors, I'm getting it from someone local through Facebook market place, and they originally wanted $115 dollars and I got them down to $65 after I explained to them that the radio was going to need more than just a new power cord to get it up and running again (and that I wasn't just going to use it as a shelf queen which is what they were trying to sell it as).

Is there anything about this radio in particular that I should look out for when repairing this radio?

Pictures to come tomorrow when I pick the set up.

Thanks for your help.

-Levi

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the radio was removed before bidding was over so I didn't get a chance to bid.dconant — 04:10 PM
