About restoration

The cabinet is simple but elegant, the controls are quite simple.  The left knob is a tuning and power knob. (It has no tuning capacitor, but can be switched to 3 fixed frequencies.) And the rigth knob is the volume control. The grille cloth was torn along its lower edge, as well as faded. The edges of the cloth, where it was covered by the cabinet, are still a rich, almost rosy, tan. The rectifier tube is replaced, and power is reapplied. I replaced the bad electrolytic smoothing capacitor.
