Bakelite Admiral

[kbmuri]

I couldn't resist, so I bid the minimum, which took it (I was the only bidder). It's the Admiral Roundie From Hell's twin sister. We'll see (if UPS doesn't destroy it) how well it works...

It's a 12LP4 set. That or 10BP4's are getting harder to find, but not impossible (yet). If UPS doesn't smash it, the bid price + shipping is about the going rate for a working 12LP4, so I didn't risk much.

If it works (with good audio) I'll probably clean it up and keep it.

I'm driving distance to the bakelite cabinet, but I don't really like it, it's way overpriced, and I'm skeptical that the completely-dissolved-to-dust audio chassis will clean off the bakelite without leaving some sort of mark. To be that bad, it must have been in standing water for years. Can't imagine the bakelite survived that, unaffected.
