I bought this some 1-1/2 years ago during Kutztown auction.

Could not resist the $12 or so price (it was cheap).

   
   
   


As you can see someone tended to it before - the chassis is hammer-painted.

The cabinet is just fine, the dial is like new (I do not think for 12 bucks I bought the radio with the new repro dial, but who knows).

Now, I am not tempted to turn it on even though somehow I think it might work.
I simply do not trust other unknown people with restorations.

Now having said that, I need some pointers as to how to extract the chassis.

I see one screw at the bottom, I see two screws holding the chassis behind the dial frame to the front, but the access is impeded by that very dial frame. Is there any trick or do I have to use some fine screw driver with partial access to the screw slot?

And of course I will have to unsolder the frame antenna.

It might be a short inspection and alignment, or...who knows.
