You should get it .. The wood on these radio is very nice and the dial is huge. here are photos of the dial [before it is cleaned up].

Terry's is not that same one. It is just very similar. His is a Stromberg I think...
Then you can restore it for me

Kirk;
It may be an American Bosch, some of their models used almost identical chassis to those used in many Northern Electric models back in the 1930s. Stromberg was never into huge aeroplane style dials, they prefered smaller octagonal ones and orange peak hole dials similar to those used in Philcos.
