Silvertone 1154 grandmother clock radio
#1

Bought this today at an antique shop about 45 minutes from home. Paid a little more than I usually like to pay for a radio, but I have never seen one before and understand that, while not super rare, they are uncommon. Three of the knobs are missing the rosette in the center. All tubes except one of the 24's tested good
(including both 45's). Grill cloth was pretty toasty so I replaced it with some I had on hand in order to get it past the home decor quality control department (wife) until I can find a quality substitute. It has been re-capped, but has a short somewhere. Fails dim bulb test immediately. I'll check out the previous work and hope it's not the transformer.
