It's a baby champ bakelight radio.
Chocolate brown.

I did some quality of life upgrades to it. From the factory the antenna was a handful of wire pre-soldered and poking out a hole in the back.

There were holes with notches for screw terminals that were never used. I salvaged the chassis from a sidewalk abandoned console radio and put the screw terminals from that into these preexisting holes.
Spread the sharp tang and popped it in, soldered it into circuit and it looks factory.

Than replaced the weak 35Z5 output tube with a nos 50Z5 and put a jumper wire across the HOT resister they put under the kimono.

Strung my own longwire crappy antenna up in my living room and hooked it to my new screw lug.
Got Boston radio 500miles from me.
That got me into radio dxing at age 38. Haha
