I restored a WR-212 for my dad. Nice radio.

Odd too that you found it in Beaver-town for $20. Most of the old radios up there are over-priced or re-porpoised.

Just finished a WR-22.

 That looks like yet another rebadged American Bosch sold as a Westinghouse. It's too bad that the American Westinghouse company didn't follow the lead of their Canadian cousins in Hamilton designing and building their own sets, although since it's a Bosch it's probably a decent performer.
