It would have been a really good deal if it had. When I got it, it had a bunch of Mantovani records in there (yuck). I'll probably take pictures of how it looks when I finish it.

This project is going to take a little longer than I'd anticipated. Long story short, before I opened up the radio, it had a distortion like a chainsaw whenever I used it. So, last night I replaced half of the can capacitor (50uf) and when I turned it on, the buzz was gone... for 3 seconds ... BUZZ ZAP ... now the whole room smells like rectifier. I guess I probably shouldn't have used whatever I had lying around for this radio. Lesson learned... selenium smells real bad in a small room.

The rectifier is (was) rated X800 B250 C125... I think that "B" means 250V and "C" means 125Ma, but what does "X" Mean?
