Another old newbe!

Hi,

I'm new to the forum today.
I'll post a couple of pictures of my latest and just completed project.
It's a Magnavox Windsor, 1948 we think. It is now totally restored and I listen to it almost everyday. I'm sorry my before pictures are not very good. It was a mess and I didn't think it could be brought back. It looks new now. No, I didn't do the work, a retired EE here locally did it for me and he farmed out the cabinet work.
The lamp was a gift to me from a friend's estate.
The telephone number is BR549, for anyone wanting to call that phone.

I have another Magnavox, 1949 I think, that I will restore next as soon as my piggy bank is full again. That cabinet is showroom new. It did not come with the FM receiver which was an option in those days as I understand it. That is a model CR192. The specs say there was an, “A” and a, “B.” I need the A if I can find one but would take either as I understand it is a dial thing. Mine will mount above the Broadcast and Shortwave receiver.

Thanks for this forum, I have now spent about 5 joyous hours on it and I must get on to other things. I'll be back soon.
