This collectable-grade radio with original cabinet was completely rebuilt, tested and calibrated.  All original WWII cloth type wiring was replaced by REME in England with the modern plastic type throughout the radio. Also, discrete  resistors and capacitors were all replaced with proper high voltage type parts. The power supply filter caps were entirely rebuilt as well as the power transformer and smoothing inductors being tested. Output audio transformer was tested and an extra 4/8 ohm transformer added to provide useful audio output. The radio chassis is extremely clean with absolutely no rust, pitting or corrosion whatsoever. The front panel was also completely restored by W3HM by repainting, silkscreening and adding aluminum trim bars. Many additional improvements were made to the radio which can be discussed upon request. All tubes are NOS with a complete set of additional spares available. Includes 2 original manuals and some additional NOS radio parts. Radio receives AM and SSB very well and tuning action is extremely smooth. There is also a matching steel WWII speaker cabinet (original black textured paint and partly seen in pic) incorporating a 12" vintage Electrovoice Wolverine speaker that is included. Additional detailed radio and speaker pics and info are available upon request. Price is $800 plus shipping in custom made wooden crate. Estimated UPS shipping in two boxes to CONUS is $125. tnx es 73  jim   K7LYQ (702) 808-7132
