New Project - 39-55
#1

Im to the next project. I picked this 39-55 up a few months ago from a Craigslist ad. Seems to have been in Arizona a long time as the station call tags are for Arizona radio stations some are still on the air.

The cabinet is in pretty good condition. I don't plan on refinishing the cabinet on this one maybe some Howards and call it good.

I could tell someone had worked on this radio before, the black plastic E-cap on the chassis was a giveaway, and all the lights that light up the station tags were all bundled together ad taped in a wad.
The power cord was completely junk bare wiring exposed so I hacked that off straight away. Scary thing is the kid I bought it from said he plugged it in and that the "bulbs" glowed. I'm suprised he didnt kill himself, or smoke the radio. Maybe he did cause some of the issues I found when I pulled the chassis?
