[Boatanchors] [AMRadio] Unusual SP-200 Super Pro???

[djed1 at aol.com]

It's hard to find one that hasn't been hacked up over the years, and that one has at least been cosmetically hacked.  Looks to be pretty complete and original inside.  You can refinish the front panel easily because the lettering is engraved.  And the knobs show up once in a while on eBay.  Or you can use plain fluted knobs from the period.  I did that with some of my knobs, and just glued a pointer on.

This Super Pro radio followed me home while cleaning out a shipping 
container.

Is this Super Pro anything unusual or did someone paint the dial windows 
blue and replace the knobs with more modern knobs?

Sadly the radio has a lot of rust. I do have the cover which attaches to 
the front panel but I removed it for the photos

Here are three photos.
