A quick Thank you! I was working on the same radio and mine had a broken dial cord as well. You helped me get it restrung! I enjoy watching your videos!
I'm really glad to see you save these radios. They were so lucky to have found you. It's obvious to me what this guys wife thought of her husband's hobby.
I love the "junkers" and tend to pick up those to repair. In my experience, most have been diamonds in the rough, and I get to decide what level to bring it back up to cosmetically speaking. I wouldn't want it to look like some reproduction with Bluetooth from overseas.
I like to take large tabletop radios like that that are junkers that are kind of not really worth restoring and turn them into guitar amps so if you have any of those basket cases where you don't feel like it's worth restoring to a good workable radio. Even if the chassis is missing and it's just the wooden shell I can make a chassis out of sheet metal and source transformers. Maybe we can work something out. It sounds like you're in the South you might not be too far away from me

That radio was stiil good enough to bring it back to working order. I'm confident she'll be happy.
Really good to see you back. That little RCA has great potential. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you're back and another radio lives again! Can't wait to see what else you picked up in this haul.
Very cool, I can't wait to see what's in the rest of the boxes.
Nice to see you're back.
I missed you, Thanks for the upload!
A major radio archive site to look up this model shows a 16X11 instead of the 16X4 you have and correctly so. Nice to see
you are back BTW.
