My Next Project - worse than the last?
#4

She's pretty rough, that's for sure. I think it may have been buried in the mud. It looks like someone dug it up. That strip laying on the counter is the dial. I think the tube on the counter is the ballast tube. Restored one of these same radios a short while back and sold it for a decent price. I hope this one comes out just as nice; they are pretty radios.

I don't go out and look for nasty radios, but when this one came along, I couldn't pass it up. These are kinda rare, so I may never find another one. I'm familiar with the chassis, and they are pretty simple radios. The last one had "the hood open" too, but not as bad as this one. I just hope the speaker and all of the coils are good.

TA, I'll be sure to chronicle every step. It should be a lot of fun. Plan to start on it in the next couple of days.
