I picked this radio up a while back and have been considering my options. Someone told me that back in the 50's or 60's some contemporary artist took a bunch of old radios and painted a patriotic design on them, and they were sold for charity. I have never been able to find out if this story is true or who the artist was, nor what radios were used. Didn't want to strip this until I did. Nothing but dead ends. Has anyone on the Phorum heard of this???
