Well, the hack job is what this radio looked like when the guy got it. I've actually known this guy a while and can remember the radio sitting apart in his back room for a few years. One reason why he hadn't gotten anyone to redo it was it was missing most of the tubes and it was obvious someone had worked on it and didn't know what they were doing. He's still not happy about the volume control, but I suppose that could be corrected in the future. Just seeing it all back together and working was nice and even with just a short wire hanging on the antenna terminal it sucked in stations like crazy.
No matter where you go, there you are.
