Not exactly true, but close. I bought the 57C at an auction years ago and my father knew someone who got it working for me. It has a newer power cord and I believe had a tube or two replaced. I am interested in any thoughts on an antenna. I have it at work and my office is in the middle of a concrete building (old Best Buy). I had a suggestion on an AM transmitter which sounds very promising. I would appreciate any advice offered.

Thanks.
