[NJARC] Radio Console Refurbishment

[Ray Chase]

One thing that we are lacking at the InfoAge radio museum in the cottage 
is a good working mid 30's console radio.  Nothing else typifies the 
"Golden Age of Radio" other than a classic wood console.  I recently 
noted that the National Broadcasters Hall of Fame collection has a 
couple of consoles in quite decent condition.  Looks like a good 
cleaning and polish job would make them very presentable.  They would 
then need to be gone over electrically to make sure they play well.  
They are a 8 tube Crosley 819M and a Silvertone R81.  Anyone volunteer 
to check one or more out?  Let me know and I'll arrange pick-up or delivery.
