On ARF you said you got this out of the prop room of a theater, correct? What's the story there?

Those are my plans when ever I get around to cleaning my garage so I can work on projects. I am going to touch it up with a sharpie of all things. It hides the scratches/nicks and its not noticeable at all. I will completely disassemble the whole radio in order to clean all the polish cream and gunk off. The chorme isn't that bad not really badly pitted or rusted.
I wish I knew the story. All the people doing the sale could tell me is that the place was floor to ceiling full of trash and the son inherited it all. The cord is cut and the tranny appears to be oily. I am thinking the repair guy at the theater stated he could fix it for a friend but it just sat there for years. I was also thinking it was loaned to them and next thing you know I will get some strange latter stating that it was never returned
