This is the AK82 I snatched at the last Kutztown show from an old guy, within 3 minutes of me having arrrived there.
I removed the chassis and snapped some pictures.
As you could see, the radio has been tended to, as the previous owner said; he also claimed it worked. I believe him, but it is not in my habits to turn on radios without having it checked out myself.
The radio was repaired with Philco-Ford capacitors. The original (or what is there pretending to be the origianls) are disconencted.
I also checked the tubed. All are working, but one 35 tube is weak and the other cannot be determined to be eiyther 24A or 35 (they look the same and test pretty much the same). Luckily I have two working good 35 tubes.
The rest will be coming later.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
