I was putting on some stain and rubbing it down and my thumb slapped the top of that area and WHACK!


All fixed now.

I'll get back to y'all soon


and that is why I need to send mine to you for a rebuild, I have no patience and a bad temper, at that point I would have lost my shit and kicked it into kindling.

LOL, thats what I am afraid of!  The good one is a Grunow, the other is IRCC the same as the last one you restored.  Its going to have to wait till the bikes are paid off, the wife took me into a whole new world of fun and debt, we bought me a 08 sportster with 1500 miles, which means she now needs a new bike.....I am going to die bike rich and cash poor!


BTW love the new one, the tuning eye is as cool as it gets if you ask me

I really enjoyed following this thread. I bought a tabletop GE tube radio to restore, but discovered it was already in working condition. The seller just didn't give the tubes long enough to warm up

But yesterday I bought a semi-basketcase SB-301 for $30 at a hamfest...

That "Magic Eye" really gets to me.  It seems almost creepy, in a good way.

Received a picture of the original owner. This would be years before owning the radio. He's in ROTC gear around 17yrs old.








Hoping to receive an old pic with the radio in it as well. That would be pretty cool.
