My interest in using a car radio in home came from reading something I read online when I was 14.

But the junk the car save the radio is something I read last year.
Id just started putting aside pieces of junk to build this thing, the two most important being the Delco sonomatic radio and the 40s plywood mini cabinet/table with side magazine holders.
Found this wood down the street from me at a 40s vintage home some young yuppies were renovating.
Threw out the original 40s solid brass mailbox, which I grabbed.
A wooden ladder I tightened and use, and a 60s vintage overhead bar light with a gold label GE ballast.

The Buick Delco Sonomatic is a model 980868. It has what you would expect from a 1949 radio from a nice American car.
An 8" speaker, rf-amp front end, push-pull 6v6s, and all octal tubes.

Walking down the street last week somebody had thrown out a 50s couch with yellow burlap itchy fabric. It was a flowers pattern which I like because I like pictures of flowers.
Out came a box cutter and I took ALL of it. The big piece on the back of the couch, everything.
I'm going to sew some simple drapes with the big piece. Reupholster my 1920s kitchen chairs which somebody must have done (badly) in the 50s with puke green fabric.
Use some as speaker cloth on this radio project.

I think I'm on the right track
