I have a neat new project to work on, this Radiola 60 with a 103 speaker.

Its located at the Bandon Historical Society Museum and I volunteered to restore it.  So far they are interested in me cleaning up the cabinet but leaving it pretty much in “as is” condition, but making the radio function again.  I loaned them my Philco 59C for the duration of the restore.  [Image: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tj386dw99d9l78....jpg?raw=1]
They also have a Jackson Bell Model 62 Fleur des Lis that I’m hoping to also get working again but that’s a project for later. [Image: https://www.dropbox.com/s/f7jrzxrzadz7fd....jpg?raw=1]
The Radiola 60 also has a metal stand that it sits in that I think must have been sold for the purpose of holding the radio since it is an exact fit for the cabinet.
The cord in the next photo apparently also came along with the acquisition but I don’t think it actually goes with the set.  It has a two prong power plug on one end and a 4 slot female plug on the other.  Measuring the resistance from the power plug prongs to the slots one connects directly to one slot and the other connects but with a resistance that is not very stable in the range of 200k (doesn’t seem to be any breaks in the cord ).  Anyone recognize this cord and know what it goes with????

The top of the cabinet is in the worst shape (as usual) so I hope to get the white stains off in the clean up.  The front isn’t too bad.

Has all shoulder tubes except for one 27 globe.

I finally figured out how to get the beast out of the cabinet by separating the two chassis sections.

The goal for this restoration is to get this working reliably so it can be used regularly to listen to vintage broadcasts and museum specific recordings as part of the museum display.   Yep, that means I’m on the hook for an SSTRAN for them as well…
...more as I move along....
