Sorry guys

I caught them today JUST as they were CARTING IT OUT THE DOOR to the bin! I stopped them, they wouldn't let me take it, mumbled something about policy...grr!!

Anyways, I asked them if I could just have 10 more minuites with her. I took the tubes out of it, they all tested good on my knight tester. I got the speaker ( perfect, one small tear) the emblems off the front and all the knobs. I would have taken the CRT but I could not get it out and they were getting impatient with me.

Goodwill really makes me mad sometimes. What a shame! I will clean up the parts (knobs and emblems) as I do radio restorations, so when I am finished I will take pictures and see if anyone here wants them. I would be glad to send them if I am paid shipping

On a brighter note: The thing was NASTY dirty inside, full of coal soot, spider eggs, and upon further look a rats nest. The fake painted on wood finish was peeling badly on both sides and the finish was gone on the top, and there was black oily residue on the chassis near the flyback. I don't want to know if that was PCB or not.
