the cabinet needs redone, and i might try to stretch the grille clothe, but its completely solid and all the tubes are good, the electronics seem good, no hum or anything. the knobs are touchy, but at high volume even it comes through nice and clear. its a dual speaker!!!

well ol Rusty will be in trouble soon enough. after talking to a couple folks on ARF (antique radio forums) i have decided to try and save 2 older TVs that are out for trash in the rain. after being dried thoroughly if they worked before, they should work again. so if you dont see me for a few days, check the basement. there might be a fresh hole dug and filled in with an outstretched hand and a TV aerial stickin out :yum::yum::yum:

WELL once again Rusty is pushing his luck. im talking with a guy now on an old Admiral console TV that works for free. may need a picture tube in the future, but ill do my own diagnostics, like usual. now i dont know what year, or model number or anything about it, sight unseen. but free. it might be another one of those "if it fits in the car, ill take it" deals. unless its newer, like 70s or something. im hoping its 50's, so it wont be huge
 
Oh! you still need the talk but you are going to be the listener! Sounds like a cool set. I can't remember the name of our first set when we got electric down in Rehmyers hollow. It was great to watch wrestling and wagon train on it. You had to go outback and turn the pole to rotate the antenna to get different stations.
 
im still waiting for some info on the radio. supposed to send me a picture to my phone of it today to see if i want it. if i do, ill be picking it up today.
 
ARGH!!! lack of funds and lack of free stuff has me itchin and itchin. i havent brought anything home in a while!!! I NEED ANOTHER RADIO!!! looks like its gonna be next year till anything new comes my way :(:(:(:(:(:(
