The Model number ; I will have to research.-
(SEE BELOW NUMBERS) The only model number I have starts with a "28-....." which is on the back of the brass on front radio face piece. No other numbers (unless I am missing where they would have engraved this ( in the mahogany cabinet?........ )
Yes, no chas.... ; no tubes, bulbs; ,

I have all of the following:
Glass- milky color- meets the glass on cabinet- EXCELLENT SHAPE
, the border where the picture tube meets ; next to the glass .

Fabric- excellent condition, speaker in tact, (with wires )

Cabinet; small scratch on the top; , All engraving on the front ( where all knobs are missing) is in pristine condition. engraved lettering that is above each knob.

Rollers on the bottom of the cabinet; all in excellent shape.

Back of the unit; cover piece gone.
NO ELECTRONICS, ELECTRICAL
Nothing inside, all completely gutted, (mechanical, or electronics)

INTERIOR- SHELF; COMPLETE, EXCELLENT, NOT DAMAGED, NOR BROKEN-
EXTERIOR CABINET- ALL- ALL GOOD,
The Mahogany , and finish: I first cleaned it with lemon juice, oil, and soap. ( this is a tried and true cleaner- I work with furniture as a hobby) Then I carefully sanded just enough to get the finish, scratches, and "dings" out....
Then I placed (between steel wool and fine sanding ) 12- coats of gloss polymer finish, (helmsmen) Now I am in process of getting educated on all of the real craft ; ( which I know nothing about) other than self teaching.-)

Ya, manuals, help finding the right serial number; all important at this point.
Cleaned radio face Plate, brace, chrome cleaner...... The glass etchings; with the dial numbers ; Excellent shape. Coating on the glass enclosure ; housing the numbers (etched) was scratched; I matched up brown acrylic to the finish ( beleive this to be an acrylic) and it now looks brand new.
More help always needed for this rookie........... Thanks!
