IMHO, all early FM radios are quite collectable... Having a *good* Bakelite cabinet is way more than half the battle.

Actually, it's a 49-906-121 AM-FM. The cabinet is made of plastic unfortunately, but looks great. I just don't know how something this nice could be so darned rusty. Some places no rust at all and then trails of rust going all the way across half of the speaker.
One thing interesting to me is that it has two on/off potentiometers. I haven't investigated yet what they do. Maybe some tech used a switchable pot where just a pot was needed. Obviously I haven't had the chassis out of the cabinet to see if there is wiring going to both switches.
