I took pity on it..
#1

Found this covered in a dusting of snow today at an Amish country antique shop. They like to set items out under large awning or covered walks in front of most of the shops in Holmes County Ohio and this radio was in a bad spot to get the wind-blown snow all over it last night. I warned them about it inside the shop, but they didn't seem too concerned, so for the $15 price tag I bought the set and brought it home to a warm, dry place.
It is an Airline 62-2704 from around 1942 with a phonograph behind the grill. It's more cabinet than radio really! The good news is: the cabinet is solid and can be easily refinished, also I was able to get some audio after repairing the speaker wires and bringing it up slowly, though no channels. The bad news: The lettering on the dial is falling off and someone scavenged the motor and the idler wheel out of the phonograph. Odd.. Icon_crazy
