Graybar 770 (Radiola 82)
#1

I had this radio offered to me a couple months ago, but passed on it because of price and the fact it wasn't one of the Radiola models I was aiming for. Well, I had it offered to me again today at a bit of a discount and since I was fuming a bit about driving all day for nothing, I bit and bought the set. To my amazement, this filthy radio actually came to life after I blew most of the crap off of it and brought it up slowly. I have only been running it at roughly 90-95% power, but I hear no hum and the new cord leads me to believe this unit at least had the power chassis serviced sometime in the past. Also this thing is a hot performer that sounds good and even can pull in my local station without the antenna! Only issue I have is the tuner. I either have a plate scraping or need to blow more crud out of it as it crackles like crazy when I am tuning until I get above 1000. I think I am in love with this radio though. Icon_smile

   

No matter where you go, there you are.
