Quote:I have no idea what the on/off switch looks like it was missing when I got the radio the power had a wire to keep it on all the time if's and audio transforms are good ant coil outer winding is bad and may be osc coil going rewind ant coil but it will not be the right color if I get it working I will try to get a original.
The ON/OFF switch will likely be the same brand as the phone jacks on the panel. Look at those for a brand name.

Could be Freshman, Yaxley, BMS (Brooklyn Metal Stamping) Freed-Eiseman, etc.
Then go to WRH to find a picture of the switch. If there is a shadow of a name plate in the panel, then it was a rotary (1/4 turn) switch. The wires coming to the switch will determine the frame type and position. Some switch frames were offset. I could also be a Cutler-Hammer that has an ovoid body and two screw terminals for connection.

Do you know the gauge and turns for the antenna coil and what color do you suspect the antenna coil was?
As for the oscillator coil, the direction, wire size as well as turns are very important if the full tuning range of the set will not be realized or it may not oscillate at all. So, turns and wire size are very important. If it was DCC it must remain so as the cotton covering spaces the windings.

I do not expect it to tune much higher than 1300khz. It will also have two spot tuning, tune the same station on two locations of the dial.
