1949 Motorola 5A9M
#46

Vlad;
You may have noticed that Motorola greatly simplified the chassis, and cabinet layout on the model you bought. They went with a more conventional layout with all of the batteries stored below the chassis, and all of the electronics in the chassis, rather then congregated all around the main chassis. One drawback might be the silver mica caps in the IF cans, by then Motorola was using the 3/4'' square Automatic style IF transformers I think rather then the round ones. One thing I will say about every Motorola radio I have had, they usually performed well once restored, and they though of things like disconnecting antennas, and speakers, for servicing.
Regards
Arran
