I NOW OWN A BOAT ANCHOR???
#22

Thanks Ed. Appreciate the help. I'm still putting together all the parts to restore this radio, and want to do everything to make this set a safe, operating example.
Having read a multitude of different articles, I've found that this radio was kinda like the EDSEL of it's day. The plans to market this to servicemen was seriously set back by the unexpected end of the war. Additionally, they were marketed against offerings by Hammarlund who was marketing a radio with more features and at a lower price than the Minerva. That just makes it more unique in my book. Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
