New here...help with Brunswick Radio

[dshoaf]

I'm a regular over at AudioKarma but have a query about a 30s vintage radio that a friend picked up at a yard sale made by Brunswick.

I'd appreciate the collective wisdom of the group as to something about its historical story.

Specifically, I am interested in whether the tubes, which came with it, have any use for audio work. All tubes appear to be original except for one that has a label on it indicating that it was replaced by a local radio shop in 1938.

I do not know if it works as the AC cord is missing.

I do appreciate any and all help.

Cheers,

David
