So much for no more consoles...
#10

Sometimes all we need to know we learned in Kindergarten, like "if you don't have something nice to say about someone (or their radios), don't say anything at all"   Icon_e_wink 

Greg, that is an absolutely beautiful dial Icon_thumbup .  The station/frequency scroll is kind of unique too.  I tried to find a better picture of it, but this is the best I could do:

If you want to recreate that frequency dial, collector Steve Geary in the Dayton, OH area might be able to furnish some pictures for you.  Shoot me a PM if you need his contact info.

I restored a Sparton with a similar dial for a local fellow who ran a frame (picture/print) shop.  He was from England and I thought it was cool that he would listen to the BBC news during dinner on that radio.
