Got a call a few days ago about this radio from an area shop I know. The guy was in the process of stripping it for parts for eBay sales when he suddenly got the urge to call me to see if I was interested in the whole unit. He's into radios himself, but we both knew Tim and both of us need to thin out! Still, knowing this is a rare set (only a little over 3000 made) and that it was fairly complete, I decided to chance it. I couldn't see this just being parted out and all the globe tubes even tested good except the 27, which I have swapped in the photos.
Good news: Transformer seems fine and I have audio. Has the dial hood and good knobs! Bad news: No channels are coming in (except the lights!). Needs a grill cloth, have to repair the speaker, wicker on the back door is gone, cabinet needs some work. Grill cloth is going to be a cinch on this radio as the whole grill simply snaps in. This will probably stay and I'll just add another more common radio to the auction list.
