My wife (bless her) has surprised me with a Freed Eismann NR-6 even though she hates the looks of 20s radios. It is in decent cosmetic condition and supposedly works. I want to give it a good going over as far as tubes, transformers, grounded points, switches, and coils before I try to power it up. One of the transformers has a R/C by-pass on it, so I know I'll be replacing that soon.
It has the instructions/tuning log in perfect shape, but the battery hook-up card is a bit warped, missing a piece, and has a piece along the bottom cracking off.
Those with some experience in old paper repairs, what is a fix for the warping and for gluing the cracked piece back together that will do the LEAST amount of damage to the old card stock?
Also, if anyone has some caveats for me regarding Freed Eismann sets, I'm open to suggestions.
