morzh,
Do you have any idea the date of manufacture? It has the civil defense triangles on the BC band so it's after 1953. I'm guessing early '60s...
Took delivery today. The cabinet will need lots of work. Has had water drip on it I think. Bottom plywood has delaminated and the pretty top veneer is mostly loose. Glue injection coming up. Power cord was cut off.
The chassis has a little corrosion and a little rust. I've seen worse. Ferrite antenna has broken off the little connector wire but IS present. I don't see evidence of hot spots but don't know about the transformer yet.
Dial stringing looks like a headache. I've been told by Frank Karner it uses a separate string for BC tuning and a separate string for FM tuning. Has BC, 2 SW, and modern FM bands on the dial. Dial glass is nice and knobs and buttons appear pretty nice.
If I am successful, it should sound really good with 3 speakers.
