Made a few radio finds today!
#1

I bumped into an antique dealer friend of mine today and came home with a couple radios. The first is a Philco 46-1201 'Bing Crosby' that I got for $20. All complete except the dial cord has broken and the dial pointer has obviously fallen out a long time ago. So, will need to replace that. Actually was in better shape than I thought after an intial cleaning.
The second radio is an unknown Arvin console I got for free. Cabinet is decent and the chassis is there, but it is missing the knobs and the speaker.
The final item I got for free is a nice dial glass off an RCA radio that had the 'racetrack' type of dial. I snagged it as it was falling to the floor and he said it would be safer with me.

   

   

No matter where you go, there you are.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
