Aesthetics Question - 38-7 - Should I "fix" it?
#4

After som more discussion and finding out I may be missing a COIL and the switch, it sound like it is time to get the schematics, find out how crippled it is and relegate this to a bit of family history / Americana.

I guess I need to write up the story or have my dad record it so it can be passed on with the radio.

My dad lit up when he came over last week and saw the console there. He told me that he remebbers the day it was delivered to the house and how it was the first radio my grandparents had. He remembers the longwire in the attic and the special "Radio Plug" in the wall.

By the way, does anybody here know the correct name for the "radio plug"? It is a two blade oultle that has one cocked at a 45 so it can not be confused with a power outlet. My house was built in 1939 so it has one too.
