This radio is finished.  It certainly is not a radio that I will be using.  It will go on the shelf and look pretty.  It's fairly sensitive and so the Local/Distant switch is very necessary.  When tuning, I have to keep one hand on the volume control.  The lack of AVC is very apparent.  Since it is a TRF design, selectivity is not great.  Strong adjacent channels cause a lot of interference at night.  Since this was a popular radio in its day, it's nice to have an example.  It does reduce my desire to restore my other 55 that is in a Kiel table.  But, some day...
