Thank you for sharing. I appreciate old, antique radios, tv.'s, and other electronics. For that to be in your family for so long and in working condition is rare. I grew up on the Indiana side of Chicagoland and used to tune into KMOX radio in St. Louis to listen to my beloved Cardinals during the 70's. The only time I could pick it up was usually after 8:00pm
Nice radio, weird how the algorithm is! I don't think I have ever watched radios on RUclips, my dad had one out in his shed (workshop) but he never got it together and I was always fascinated by shortwave myself. He passed away when I was 16, and when I was 18 I found a round dial silvertone with the tuning eye 👁️. Mind you I had never found the internals of his radio and it was nothing more than a cabinet out in a shed. I thought about just putting a modern car stereo in it but couldn't do it, then late one night deep in the dark scary depths of my haunted basement while listening to coast to coast AM I lifted up a shelf that fell down and there it was looking back at me! It's gold paper dial and the knobs and tubes were all there, but still needs a total restoration. Fascinating radio you have there. Weird how the world works sometimes.

Where are you going to find the tubes?
I grew up listening to WGN from Chicago
WOR - NY was the one before sleeping listening to Jean Shepherd
That's what we call quality
