Got to do a little tinkering on the 87 tonight at my friend's place and have some good news. We got a bit of life out of the radio and have good signs that all of the 'heavy iron' as he calls the transformers and such are ok. I actually found a faint date written on the speaker cone of 6-18-29. That is cool, but now that probably means I will have to try and find one of the intricate grill inserts to complete this radio.

No matter where you go, there you are.
