A radio for my bedsit.
#3

Yippie, my radio has arrived today. Unfortunately, I had to leave it alone for 5 hours, because my dishwasher looked as an exploded view drawing, and the misses had that recognizable look in her eyes, so I fixed the dish washer first. Icon_eek

I am not a radio pro, but I think it looks oke. And it works Icon_biggrin. Unbelievable that you can listen to a radio which has anounced WWII.

I will leave the radio in the current state for now, because I have to renovate my bedsit first

Right side. On the top the varnish is pulled away by tape.

The dial. Notice that all the varnish is cracked.

Front. I figured out the first knob is on/off and 5 more clicks which do nothing (at least I notice noting). The middle knob is AM/SW I think the second click is AM, but I am not sure, On one off the bands I receive nothing, the other one is fine with the just antenna wire on the floor
