thank you! like i said im only 25 so this is way before my time lol... my grandfather died at a young age and i can remember this radio sitting upstairs at grandmas house ever since i can remember even being there.... 20+ years and it was likely up there even before i was born too.... my dad now has it on display in his living room... she also has an old tv i want to get my hands on!! likely just as old (it has woden legs? haha) so hopefully this is an easy feat to get it up and running for my dad.

thanks everyone so far! so much reading to do
