A sad find - Westinghouse transistor portable

Found this poor little guy on the scrap metal pile at the town dump earlier this summer. Initially was going to leave it lie in state; came back later in the day and felt too bad for it. I suspect it wasn't in bad shape when tossed on the scrap metal pile, but by the time I found it, the front-end loader had "compacted' the pile :-( The poor thing was full of dirt.

It deserves a better fate.

I will likely be leaving it on the freebie pile at the NEARC fleamarket on Oct. 2 in Manchester, NH. www.nearc.net

I had tried to take a photo of its innards but my camera battery died. I can re-try later if anyone is interested.
