Old "mystery" radio - trying to restore.
Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2016 9:45 pm
Friend of mine gave me this old wooden radio, AM BC Band 5-12 MHz SW. No manufacturer's marking, or model numbers.
Five tubes, plenty of rust, dust, cobwebs, a few "loose" wires, and just a hint of dead bugs and mouse pee aroma.
I was told that it works, with a fair amount of hum, and the volume control is scratchy. I'm almost afraid to plug it in
