Thanks Jerry,

This is actually my second. It's sitting on my first one. I posted about it earlier about not tuning the whole range - due to a stiff tuning capacitor and a slipping dial cord. I was getting rather miffed at the restoration job that was done on it until I looked at the one I currently have. The restorer of the 39-6 replaced all the caps, added a polarized plug and fuse, and also removed all the old flaky wiring and replaced it with new insulated wiring. I am quite confident this radio won't burn the house down.

So at least I know he did a good job on the electrical part. That's flawless. I have issues with other parts of the restoration - a re-veneering of the case and the speaker that was not really restorable.

But today I am a lot wiser and know what to look for.
