Hi Randal
No, I don't expect to get to the AK until next spring. I'll have to disassemble it, and then refinish the cabinet AND the metal front panel, since the front panel is covered in surface rust.
And then, I'll have to build a power supply, since I no longer have the one I used to use to power my old three dialers...and then, do something about the horn...since it has no driver...I'll probably hide a tiny speaker and audio output transformer under there.
I'll have to find the proper shade of brown to paint the front panel, and possibly the horn as well.
Like I said, next spring...I'm currently trying to refinish a few of my own Philcos in between repairing customers' radios, before cold weather really sets in.
