Dilemma at hand!
I was gifted a 39-116 philco! Man said i want it gone. He was planning on a restoration but his job isnt allowing time to do so,wife said youve had long enough get rid of it! So posted ad got my attention "Free" sometimes is good. 60+ mile round trip an i now have another project.How do you turn it on? No remote came with it!  Can it function with out? Im going to attempt to check basics but  on off control wheel doesn't work
Is "Free" a lost cause?
Finally after 50 plus years I'm back into the hobby again. It's like trying to relearn a second language some of it makes sense and some of it doesn't! Could be fun now considering my son is now into old radios and tube technology!
