It's the upright console, Doug. I didn't know about the AM frequency changes. I guess it might still be interesting to have as a curio. After all, for AM I'd probably be using that band to listen to a Part 15-compliant qrp AM transmitter "broadcasting" my own programming. Tube shields, power transformer and some of the chassis are kinda rusty so it'd take some more effort at restoration. Oh, and I do remember CKLW was one of the stations on the dial, and I think WOOD was another so it's a Grand Rapids scale. Also, the rear of the chassis didn't have a switch, did it? I see someone apparently added one and in pencil marked two positions for it, radio and phono but the radio doesn't have it's own phono.

Best Regards - Mike

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
