today a fiend called, said he had a present for my birthday.
Fom his descrition it was a tube console.
Right not I need one like a hole in the head, but he's a friend and this is a tube radio.
Accoring to him, some old guyvwas moving out and was about to put it to the curb.
I came, we had a couple of beers, then I saw the radio. A big console. Clearly refinished, very shiny.
When I came homebI asked my wife to help, and, sure enough, she dropped it. Not much damage, some veneer around the rear edge.
Anyway, It has manual and all in the top compartment under the lid. Says it is a SK.
Put it in the new house's garage for now.

No pics for now, all I wanted was to pull it out and put it in the garage. It was cold and I just wanted to get back home.
Später.

It was 9pm and I was tired, after two beers and a bag of chips, having to come and haul the radio....
Saw it today. Yes I'd rather not have that veneer damage, but what's done is done,, the rest of the cabinet is nice.
Nice looking radio. As most SKs are.

I was thining more along the lines of Festus than Chester, but we'll let the three Amigos decide who's who in their line-up

We've been watching Gunsmoke on DVD, in Living Black-and-White, off and on over the past year or two. We just finished Season Eight, which included an episode in which Ken Curtis makes his first appearance as Festus, before he became a regular on the series.
Everytime I see Morzh Mike, Sam and Kirk start picking at each other, I can't help but think of Matt, Chester and Doc... 
And I agree, we should leave it to them as to who is who.

Hey Ron
Your doing better than I! I got up to season 5 or so watching Gunsmoke online. Didn't get to see Ken Curtis in color in reruns as I remember KC the first time around. I've been told that sometimes Chester forget which leg to limp on. It's not a natural limp.

When I was a child, Gunsmoke was one of the many Westerns my father watched every week. By the time I was old enough to remember, Chester was gone and Festus had taken his place.
So when we started buying Gunsmoke DVDs, we began at the beginning and so I finally saw the shows with Chester for the first time. The first six seasons were 30 minute episodes, instead of the 60 minute episodes of season 7 and later.
From what I have read, Dennis Weaver (who played Chester) taped up his right knee so he couldn't bend it, to give the appearance of a permanent limp on the show. In the DVD episodes I have seen, Weaver (Chester) always limps on the right leg, never the left.
Okay, now that we have completely gone away from the original subject of this topic...  Morzh Mike, come on in and straighten us out, eh!
