I must admit it, I'm hooked on vintage radios (as I'm sure many of the Phorum readers are also). Saw this one today at the flea market. Seller wanted $35 but settled on $20. Seems to all be there except for the back and one knob. It's a Stewart Warner model 03-5S1 with the "Magic Keyboard" push button tuning. It's an AM/SW. I believe the back, which is missing, houses the "Magic Antenna". Should be fun to work on. I already located a how-to repair on the "Magic Keyboard". Radio still has original stickers inside!
