Found an item that I can't restore myself because I don't have the
missing parts. Someone may have the parts but no chassis?

Anyway. This unit is in very nice cosmetic condition, mostly. Some
moron has written 'STRIP' and 'X' in white and yellow (either chalk
or crayon) on the cover.

The front is in very nice (black wrinkle) original condition. The rear
connector has had a few locations soldered to, but fortunately the
connector is original. The inside is dusty but looks good. Condition
under chassis is excellent. 2500kc crystal and all tubes present.

OK, missing parts:
  - antenna connector
  - roller inductor and h/w
  - antenna relay

Underchassis modifications:
  - something involving the selector relay (was edged ON with matchstick,
also)
  - one lead lifted on the 1625 tube bases
  - maybe other wiring changes but not readily visible

Bad news department:
  - osc can has some markings, all screws gone, coil seems to have had
    an extra winding added

Of course, it would be easy to add a roller inductor from some other model
but I wouldn't do much constructive with this even if I did. So if you need
this for your collection and can make it all original, contact me
(off-list).
