Thats probably one of the best before and after illustrations Ive ever seen.
Just amazing the nice veneer we uncover during the strip process.
A beautiful thing now.

The radio plays very nice and has nice tone, treble and bass seem very good coming from this 5 toober set
Shortwave also works .

Congratulations again then, Fred. Yes, when properly aligned, many of these old 5 tube sets are surprisingly good both in their sensitivity and sensitivity, as well as their sound. Now you can have some real fun with it, seeing what foreign stations you can pick up. Happy listening !
