Rescued an 87 lowboy today.
#1

I've walked past this radio several times the past few years. It was sitting in a musty back room with several other old radios that need help, but aren't getting it and since I already have an 87 high boy, I really didn't think of this radio until today when I looked at it again. It had no mounting bolts for the chassis or speaker the grill or grill cloth was missing and it had no knobs until I found the dial knob laying on the floor. Also, the 45s and two 26s were gone off the chassis, but I saw the beginnings of complete 87 lowboy and made an offer on the set. So, it is now at my place awaiting further repair and parts. I had the other two knobs and a good pair of 45s, so that is a start. Icon_smile

   

No matter where you go, there you are.
