  • Condition: Refurbished is an understatement so Read the item description. I've had this for about 40 years, from when it used a 2V wet cell and Vibrator until I 'modernized' it. Yes it still works after all this time and is probably over 70 years old. It's been 33 years since I lived at the address on the 'If Found' label. I recall seeing this in a 1939 Allied Radio Catalog.

    Description

    Title sumz it up and mouse over photo/s to see wossup.
    ***If it ain't mentioned in the description it ain't included***
    Up for Auction because I have not listened to AM BCB in over 20 years thanks to KOMA going TALK/SPORTS.
    The latest upgrade was the 4 ACCULOOP 10AH added last year so expect at least 8 hours of run time.
    An IMIM charger will be included.
    IMIM='I made it myself'.
    I've had this radio for 35 years at least and it has been extensively modified since then, to say the least.
    The synchronous vibrator was been replaced with a solid state one with 2 diodes to rectify the HV because the original transformer is still used. The wet cell battery has been replaced with a 20AH SLA at first and 20 years ago an NiMh pack and last year a new pack.  Yellow Led's have been added to back light the scale. There are 2 banana jacks on the rear cover to use for recharging the battery pack with an external charger. The original line cord is still there but disconnected because it is ill advised to operate the radio off of 120VAC. It works great and there is no RF noise from all the mods, though there is a faint hum when the volume is turned down. Nothing new since it was there when it was still using the vibrator back in the 1940's.
