Jackson Bell Vintage Radio repair suggestions?

Wow, did not know you guys even existed? I was sent over here from the sister Audiokarma site.

From another post I have talked about all the stuff my dad has stashed on his farm. This is a ~1930 Jackson Bell model 62. Not sure if it is a Swan or Peacock version. Anyway, this belonged to my grandfather and has been sitting unused since my dad last turned it on in the early 40s. I believe the original speaker was a Lansing and this Magnavox may be a replacement? Other than that, it is all original. Tempted to see if I can get it working?

Anyone want to help me take this thing on? I am far from a electrical repair tech but could probably do it if anyone has the patience to walk me through it. I know my Dad (81) would get a kick out of it if I got it working.

They just don’t make them like this anymore!





















I feel like an Archeologist!
