I like the SW dial light gimmick. The cabinet looks quite nice after the restore. I like the period grill, much better than the dodgy cloth that was there. Looking forward to seeing what else you won in the auction. 🙂
I have the same radio . I restored it years ago . They sound good . Hope you don't mind me saying but I think it was a mistake to strip the cabinet and have it satin finish . Careful use of very fine steel wool and scratch cover followed by T cut and then wax would have left it looking really good but still retaining some patina of age . Just personal choice of course . We all do things the way it suits us personally .
Very nice restoration job. I do remember my grandfather had the very same radio when I was a small lad. I am now 70. Thanks for the memories.
Me 70 Too !
What an interesting and unusual set! Very nice!
That radio now looks amazing. You really did a wonderful job on it. Keep up the good work.

Hi,
Ive taken your hint and published a video showing the other radios from this Haul.
Cheers,

You are right, I'm not very good at the cabinets.
