northern Electric finished - Dan Walker - 07-05-2017

I bought this Northern Electric tombstone radio about three weeks ago and now it is all finished.
   I found that the transformer had a shorted secondary, so I used a new one I had bought for my rogers 10-12 .
 then I found  that the choke somehow got a hole in it and about 20 wires were broke. I got another one from a good friend of mine  and after all that work, the radio plays very well.
 It does not have a dial but rather a backlighted dial that rotates as you turn the knob. For a different band, a different color rotates around
  The cabinet  took the regular amount of work , stripping ,staining and toning.
Now it is a keeper.
 Dan in Calgary.  PS here is a link to the interview that I gave to the CBC .
It is about 5 minutes long.
