Already got you a new project since the motorola is finished?

Is there anything identifying the brand? GE, philco, RCA? You're not goin to find a Sams for that... it will have to be a Riders I bet. I would guess it to be 1940-ish?

I have a good book showing tons of photos of these sets, but it's at home and I'm at camp right now. If you don't find any other clues by the time I get home, I'll look thru my book.

Looks like someone has repaired it in the past. That orange drop and those round disc capacitors definately arent OEM. But look at how simple things look in there. Shouldn't be too hard to fix up. Your speaker is probably electro-magnetic, so it will have to be plugged in for things to work once you try firing it up.
