Those have a satin black finish if i recall right. They do pretty good if set up right. I like the way they tune as it gives you a little more control. The missing knobs and nameplate come up often on Ebay. Theres loads of information on the net for these AK radio's also. Have fun and good luck!

Woo hooo!! What a treasure!

Sorry markus, I just can't get excited about that one. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with it, though. If it were in my house, it would just serve as ballast to keep the garage from blowing away in the next tornado...

yeah - I hear ya doing it as a favor for my neighbor - I've been borrowing his lawnmower for the last YEAR and this is a cool way to pay him back since it has sentimental value.

he actually does have all the little bits for it, except the tubes. the cabinet is in OK shape, but missing its lid. he's excited to make a lid for it. I have all but one tube it needs (01A's) so that'll be a something to hunt for too.

just told him the news (make / model / etc) and he really lit up.

Looks wise, it doesn't do anything for me either, but what I find really cool about this kinda stuff is how simple they made everything back then, and it actually worked...

If I could get my hands on something like that, I'd for sure get it working again. Even if I had to pay someone to do it for me.. just to see how it worked, and what it sounded like... To me, seeing something electronic almost 100 years old actually do what it was designed to do is the coolest...
