We are newbies to this forum and radios.

We inherted an old tube radio we want to restore / improve.

Can't find a match to appearance on the web links found so far. Maybe you all will help us.

Lable inside only says Model 18.

Pics of radio attached.

We want it fixed, inrush added, and are thinking about a real good speaker for now (Altec duplex from around 40's 50's). Ohms? Will it work? Existing looks like high voltage and cone is ripped / dry rotted.

Also - tell us about refinishing, repair, or leave the cabinet alone.

Thanks -
