Went to a radio swap meet in Chicago IL. on Sunday to sell some stuff and I did. Now I need a way to spend some on the way home. This is one of 3 transistors I picked up at the antique shop I stopped at. The tag said it worked and was $29.99. went to the front desk and had the clerk plug it in. The controls were really dirty and if was being really fussy so I offered $20 and we settled on $22
Got it home cleaned it inside and out. With the controls cleaned it fired right up clear as bell. It still had the original ear piece and wire antenna for the shortwave and all the doors. It's in really excellent shape the only detraction I've found is the decorative piece of plastic for the treble slide is missing. As soon as I find out what color it should be I'll make one so if anyone knows drop me a line please.
This is a really good sounding radio. Much better than any of the SS Trans Oceanics I've owned and I've owned them all several times. It's really a pleasant surprise how well it preforms. I think I've found my new porch radio.
