Got a 1926 Freshman Masterpiece Today...

[Sandy G]

Lauriann & I were bummin' around an antique shop & came upon this ANCIENT radio, a 1926 or so Freshman Masterpiece. One of the tubes-an '01A-has obviously gone to air, but there are several spares included w/the set. Lauriann got me the set for my birthday, which kinda assuages for turning 50 <grin>... Anyhow, anybody here know anything about these REALLY old guys ? I know it takes 2 or 3 kinds of batteries that aren't easily available anymore, & I can check the tubes on my TV-7, but beyond that... Case isn't too bad, but I have an EXCELLENT refinisher here who is also VERY reasonable. It has a speaker integral to itself, everything LOOKS like it oughta work... What sayest y'all ?
