Picked up my first Transoceanic this weekend
#1

Went to an antique/craft fair with the wife, mainly because there was nothing else to do. Anyway, found a Transoceanic H500 in really good physical condition (although very dirty and smelly) but needs some electronics work. It just buzzes. The power cord is bare on both conductors immediately as it enters the chassis, and the seller had been plugging it in to "show that it works". All tubes are good except one of the 1U4's. I'm usually not too in to the later radios from the 50's/60's, but these are just cool.

According to a member on "another radio forum"...it is a Revision E. I have no clue. Just kinda wanted a Transoceanic.
