Dave, funny I just pulled the chassis out today and saw that selenium rectifier staring at me. Definitely want to replace that! I let it run for about an hour or so. Fairly quiet at first, then started getting noisy. Then a little later it 'snapped' into being quiet again. Hmm. The thing does pull in stations pretty well using that internal antenna. And it's a nice sounding set. I'm not seeing this as a candidate for a full blown restoration (as the front is damaged and I'm missing an original knob) however with a light cleanup and attending to a few parts I'm seeing the 'daily driver' scenario as it's best possibility.

EDIT: Are the two screws on the back a provision for an external speaker? It says "stereo speakers input" but that doesn't make sense to me in the context of this radio....
