Restoration of the Canadian General Electric A-87
#1

Ok.... In the fourth year of the war, I still decided to return to an active hobby. For more than three years, I did not restore radio cabinets, but only occasionally did small repairs. As I already wrote here, a well-known friend of mine from my small town before the war received a contract to work in Canada near Ottawa and this winter accidentally came across a sale of a rather large collection, remembered my hobby and offered a deal that I could not resist. Icon_mrgreen Namely - for a complete restoration and restoration of about 10 radios, I will be able to choose several of the best as payment for the services provided. Considering that I am already retired and have much more free time, I simply could not help but agree. Especially considering that I will have the opportunity to better familiarize myself with and study many unique radios from Canada and the USA.

So, the first radios started arriving in early March. And the first was the Canadian General Electric A-87. Since it was shipped by the economical "sea delivery" option by the Meest Express company, the delivery time was two months. If you do not take into account the small damage to a piece of veneer, then we can assume that the journey of this radio console to Ukraine was successful. Icon_thumbup
