I bought this radio real cheap from an antique shop. What I loved about it was the fact that it is a tube radio. What I didn't know was it was held together with modelers glue and duct tape. I got the chasis to work by replacing the capacitors most of which were burned out.Then I started working on the bakelite body using superglue and epoxy with fiberglass cloth for strength. As Dr. Frankenstien would say..."IT LIVES!"
