Attic Fresh Sentinel Radio.
#1

This radio was only a quarter of a mile away from me and I had been told about it by my elderly neighbor while I was still in high school. He was well into his 80's when he passed away in 1996 and his wife just passed away in 2010. These two were like a second set of grandparents to me when I was young and now the four kids have finally put the old farm up for sale and they stumbled on this radio still sitting forgotten in a corner of the attic. It's a Sentinel 6241 battery set and although a bit rough, it is all there and I was offered first dibs on it. With the current attitude towards old houses in my area, this might end up being the only physical reminder left of my neighbor and his wife after the sale ends. House is still nice, but people around here will either tear it down or the Amish will buy the property for hunting and let it rot down.

   

   

No matter where you go, there you are.
