THE UNIT ON THE LEFT IS THE RADIO AS I RECEIVED IT AND THE UNIT ON THE RIGHT IS A PHOTO PRETTY MUCH AS IT SHOULD LOOK WHEN DONE

THIS IS THE BOTTOM SHOWING THE VARIOUS TAGS. BELOW I WILL SHOW CLOSE-UP PICS OF THE TAGS

HERE IS THE MODEL NUMBER AND TUBE LAYOUT TAG

HERE IS THE WAR PRODUCTION TAG. THE NUMBER 1947 HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE YEAR IT IS JUST SOME SORT OF ID OR SERIAL NUMBER. THE OTHER WHITE TAG ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BOTTOM IS JUST ONE OF THOSE PATENT NUMBER TAGS

THESE ARE VIEWS OF THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CABINET WITH THE GUTS OUT

HERE IS A VIEW OF THE GRILLE CLOTH AND FORM. AS YOU CAN SEE WHOEVER PAINTED THE RADIO ALSO PAINTED THE GRILLE CLOTH WHITE. NOW I NEED TO FIND A SIMILAR CLOTH AND REPLACE THAT.

HERE IS THE UNDER SIDE OF THE CHASSIS BEFORE ANYTHING HAS BEEN DONE
