I've hinted at this a few times, now I have some pictures and am posting about this radio I got in a round of big trading and dealing a couple weeks ago. This set was found at a building salvage place up north and appears to have come from a house or mansion that had been abandoned and is now a vacant lot. There is still a question who got the better end of the deal, but to score a working Majestic with all good tubes, including two very good globe 50's can't be too bad of a deal. I had another later Majestic with two 45's several years back, but just didn't like it and passed it on. This one I have really grown to like. The only head scratcher is the tuning plates. The rest of the radio seems to be really good quality from the time, but for some reason they used pot metal for the tuning plates! They have survived decently except one tiny spot where they rub, and I am not messin' with those! Anyways, pictures!
Also found this interesting item still attached inside the cabinet. Wonder how this worked?
