New project-GE A-83
#1

This was sitting as a decoration in the local record shop so it followed me home for $50.
Basically intact including the multicolored rotating glass dial. Obviously the transformer, caps, are trashed and the rest needs to be gone through but it has the original speaker fully intact. Case is ok but needs new veneer on top. 
I dug out the Rider’s pages for this. I’ve never seen it where they actually give you a picture diagram of the entire radio - wiring, parts placement. I’ll have to figure out what kind of transformer I need for this - it’s 115 v input to a 5Z4.


Not that I needed another project but I just couldn’t stand to see this just decaying away in a shop window. I’ll have to research this further while I finish these 41-250 and 41-255 that are presently on the bench.
