Latest project: 42-22CL
#1

Just completed this afternoon. The original 72 year old electric clock still keeps perfect time....although when I went to put the chassis back in the cabinet, it stopped doing so. Icon_mad

Turns out one of the two wires to on the plug attached to the clock broke off flush against the plug itself and I didn't see it until everything was all back together. So, I was able to take the clock out without having to remove the chassis again, and luckily there was enough wire left that I could just strip off the insulation and solder it inside the pin again (removing the old stub inside the pin first, of course). I removed the other wire from the pin as well and cut it to the same length, re-soldering it to that pin again too.

Nice performing radio....surprised to even get a few sporadic stations on the police band! Icon_thumbup

I gather this set is somewhat rare, judging by the relatively low production number of around 8000?
