Who knows, as the hack who worked on it previously left long solder blobs, loose solder joints, and paralleled electrolytic capacitors, had a jack added to feed into the volume control, and had an antenna wire connected to the RF section of the tuning gang, bypassing the antenna coil.

Many other things have happened since this project started, but I am making a serious effort to finish all of my approximately 100 radios this year.

The light and angle make a big difference in how a cabinet looks:
