I thought I would post some photos of my latest finished radio.
It's an RCA 12 tube model A-33 Globtrotter. The cabinet work was easy. I recapped the radio,and changed the 1 meg resistor for the eye tube and it works..Sounds real nice with a phone hooked up..
It still has a slight hum between stations but with my knowledge of electronics it will have to do until I learn more. Here are the photos.
