Its the 101425,made by Colonial Radio,according to that great link!
I was thinking of just stripping the brown paint off,and seeing what I have as far as the original finish.If it comes out passable,I might have a local restorer work on the radio itself.It looks like it could be a nice unit.The guy who gave it to me said that up until the early seventies,he was getting broadcasts at night as far away as Tawian.As soon as I can,ill post pics of it.I was also given the strangest thing from this same man.Its a suitcase with a record-player /radio in it,that you can also record from the radio or a mike straight onto a 78.Its called a "Recordette" and its made by Wilcox-Gay.This is just an all out peculiar unit.It has no plug,and when I pulled it up out of the suitcase,it had no power source whatsoever.Perhaps it used a large battery to power it?Id hate to just give it to goodwill or something,because its a real curiosity.All in all,a very nice day,at least the part after work ended.....
