Greetings everyone, today I just bought a 1927 Eveready (National Carbon) Model 1 TRF radio for $75 from Facebook Marketplace and it is in really nice shape yet except for some dry-rotted rubber wiring and a torn speaker cone on the original speaker to the radio.

It came with a complete set of tubes and its original power cord was cut.

the cabinet is solid oak and some other stuff.

I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with these early AC powered TRF Sets and working on them as I don't have much experience with them as this is my first TRF set that I've ever worked on, and the earliest radio I've worked on so far.

See pictures below.
