Here is one of the radios that I have nearly finished restoring. Everything is complete, except for the silk screening on the front panel. The horn speaker is a Tower with a Music Master driver (the driver has been rewound and the magnets recharged), and I made the antenna myself. It uses a 6-volt SLA battery for the filaments, and 10 9-volt batteries for the B+, with a tap at 45 volts for the detector. It uses five 201A tubes.

The radio plays beautifully and performs incredibly well!

So, what have I done with it...
-Refinished the cabinet
-Made a new front panel out of black plexiglass
-Stripped down the bread board completely
-Reworked the tube sockets
-Gutted the old grid-leak resistor, replacing it with a new, 2.2 meg. carbon film resistor, so it looks original
-Gutted the old capacitors and installed new ceramic capacitors in them so that they look completely original
-Cleaned up all the connections
-Reworked the Volume rheostat
-Rebuilt the variable condensers
-Replaced the power resistors
-Rebuild the interstage transformers
Note about these: As usual, I want the radio to look completely original, so I chose to rewind them rather than replace them. It turns out that the iron in them was very rusty. I replaced it with similar-sized modern transformer laminations. I wound both with 1,500 turns of 40 awg wire on the primaries. One has 4,500 turns of 45 awg wire on the secondary, and the other has 7,500. They look completely original, but they have modern guts!
-Refinished the breadboard with shellac
-Reinstalled all the components
-Put it all back together
