Airline Miracle 62-288 restoration
#1

I bought the radio on a whim about 4 years ago in Kutztown.
Having thought about it, I probably paid too much even if it was in ideal state, but now that I got me to put it on the bench, I see that there probably ahouldves been preset knobs and there are none. The vertical slots were cleverly taped over from inside by black tape so I didn't realize there was a defect.
The lesson: have someone experienced alongside when a seller is cajoling you to part with your hard earned roubles.

The tag also says "plays" which I believe. Since it is not recapped, I am not going to check the truthfulness of this statement.

   

The tubes all test fine except the 5Y3 tube that though is functonal, tests at the questionmark. Will do for now.

I do not know the exact version: where the label used to be we now have this:

   

But I suspect they might be similar if sold in the same cabinet.

BTW the cabinet is nice and without cracks.
Maybe one day I will find a junker with the preset pegs.

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.
