New Old Radio


Yes, I got another one cheap off of eBay. This one had no back or power cord and was a little filthy from being in an attic. It can all be cleaned, though, and the circuit "re-capping" is already in progress by myself, the wood restoration is being handled by another dept (my wife). This one has an attractive roll-top to cover the dial when not in use, and apparently was portable - if you had a 90v battery! Some people say you could make one out of ten 9v, but I am not sure it is worth it. Will report again when I apply normal mains voltage.
