Great radio. You need a band switch knob which is pretty easy to find at swap meets.

I changed the selenium rectifier to a 1N4005, replaced wax/paper caps and tested the 2 electrolytic caps.

I added a CL-90 thermistor (from allied radio) to limit inrush current to tube filaments and rectifier.

Band switch is touchy even though I cleaned it with DeOxit. So bad I had to jump out (hardwire across) two oscillator switch wafers.

Its a daily driver and oddly, it works quite well and is selective with the built-in "cord loop" FM antenna
