I had restored the cabinet of this radio back in 2013.

I've decided to let this one go, along with a few others, to try and raise a little $$$ since I'm still out of work.

So on Sunday, I began working on the chassis.

Two and a half days later, the chassis was complete. A new world record for me, I think. That's replacing all of the old rubber-covered wiring as well as replacing all paper and electrolytic caps and all of the carbon resistors. Plus two tubes had to be replaced.

Unfortunately, the original clock is shot. The wires were clipped off at the motor, and the outer housing is missing as is the original two-pin connector coming from the original motor.

I have no choice but to replace the motor with a new one. I found an electric movement at Klockit, and decided to go with it. I have the original two-pin socket which connects inside the radio to supply AC power to the clock, and I've found a matching two-pin plug to take care of the missing plug, so I can at least hookup the new motor as the original was hooked up.

The new motor will be here Friday, and the dial covers were shipped today so they should be here by next week.
