Please help me identify this
#1

I found your website by googling transitone, which is what is printed on the front of the radio dial.

   

This radio was given to me by my father. He earned the money to buy it from a paper route in Detroit. My dad was born in 1936.

This radio has sentimental value to me, as he used it to listen to The Shadow and The Lone Ranger when he was a kid. It still turns on and 'works' I guess, but I can't seem to get an AM radio signal up here in the mountains where I currently live.

Could you tell me anything about this radio?

   

Is there a way to safely attach an antennae to it so I can maybe pick up some AM radio signals? I live in the mountains of North Georgia. For any people who saw the movie Deliverance, I'm just about 15 miles from where the rafting scenes were shot.

Thanks.
