Recently acquired this beauty from an auction with several radios that survived a fire.
Upon wipedown and cleaning lightly with Murphy's, this beauty looks pretty good.
Upon close inspection of the cabinet, there are definitely some battle scars.
The chassis looks to be pretty original with the exception of later 40s/50s  electrolytics.
I will be digging into this soon.
Also picked up a 60MB, a JR 80, a 37-60 and a 38-40T as well as two Gloritone 26 radios.
Got the Gloritones to work, the 37-60 sounds nice, but lost her face paint in the fire and the 60MB sounds decent also with new electrolytics..
The jr and the 38-40T are going to require a bit of attention.
I got a bit lucky that transformers, speaker coils and antenna coils are good in all these except the 38-40 which suffered a bit of melty from the fire

Fun work ahead for sure.
I will post as issues arise

The heat baked the front, not too bad, it's a miracle the cloth did not ignite, bring it back to life, fun radios.
