For $20.00 I could not pass it up.

Needs EVERYTHING but I dont think I am going to restore it. I wanted the knobs and parts but may sell whole.

Will this speaker work for my 89?

A 44 can be a beautiful radio when restored properly.

For you? Should be a snap. You enjoy the pain, admit it!

Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift

I think I know what it is: he needs some ugliness in his life, so as he restores most of the junk he has to its former beauty he has to balance it off by buying some ugly stuff again.

Yes.

That cabinet doesn't look too bad. I've seen much worse. Bring it to me @ K-town. I might have something for you in return.

I bought a really cool clock for $25.00. Then sold it for $40.00 Icon_mrgreen

Sold about 6 radios but small ones so I made a few bucks.
