Thanks Phil, I actually cleaned it up a little before taking the pics, but it does appear to be in really nice shape. The woman that sold it said it belonged to her father, and he had had it for years with the intention of fixing it up. It seems to be pretty original.

Richard, thanks for the information. I will definitely be taking my time with this. My brother has a background in electronics, and he is helping me out along the way, but I am always grateful for the input from here. Neither one of us has restored a radio before. Right now, I've been reading up on them before I jump into anything too serious.
