[@Backtothefutureradios]

Good looking radio…this should be a good project and the cabinet should clean ip quite nicely. Looking forward to the next video…..Take Care-Larry

interesting. Carry on Tom. I'd love to see "grandpa" come back to second light.

Thank you. Stay tuned for more progress in the coming weeks. I have to order some new parts.

That receiver looks like an early superheterodyne model. Once it's up and running and aligned, you'll probably be able to do some heavy duty DX-ing on the AM band. It looks like an immediate precursor to the AA5's.

Thanks for your comment Chet. Yes it is an early five tube superheterodyne model and upon further research I discovered it was sold in 1934 for $30 which would be $700 in todays money. I believe RCA sold the very first commercial superhet radios with their Radiola line in the late 1920s. I am looking forward to getting it running and will connect it to my outdoor antenna for good DX reception.
