Fairbanks Morse model 91
#1

Here is an interesting one that I brought home tonite.
It's a Fairbanks Morse model 91 console.
What a neat radio.
Has the most unusual looking dial, and it's a shutterdial to boot.
Brought it up on my variac after running a couple tests, and low and behold it works.
Seller claimed it had not worked for years.
Pulled the sheild off the chassis and found a 6F6 tube rolling around in there.
Put it back in and it worked well considering it needs to be re-capped.
I think this will be a beauty when done.
Has a real flowery print on the speaker cloth.
Can't imagine that it came with that.
But as well as it fits and the symetry of the print, almost makes me believe it could be original.
Anyone know where I could get a picture of the original?
I know there different versions of this cabinet then.
Great find for the money.
