Wow! I didn't know that Westinghouse was indeed sort of like a DuMont as far as building higher end stuff with a bit of really cool electronic overkill. I'm glad now that I started this thread. I personally never owned much by them in a radio. I've seen more 50s TVs and the same period and later kitchen appliances. I do have this older model Standard/Shortwave with the all mighty "magic eye" that to me is really cool with most of that periods bells and whistles. It only needs a dial string.

So both of these are in very good playing condition without restoration. I love that phenomenon in electronics. The total survivor one might say. Heck, when any piece of electronic from the 1930s can stand working today with only a piece of string as needed repair; you can safely call it a survivor and a well made product.
