Oh my, you appear to have found an early 50 at that! Shame about the speaker, though. Little kid damage I would say. I found a model 50 last fall, but it is the later version in its own style of cabinet.

   

Good luck on the house buyout tonight!

No matter where you go, there you are.

I think you have a 51 which was made later than the 50. I have heard of early 51's with the 50 chassis.

I'm starting not to like you John,
Why cant I ever get radios locally?
All the ones by me are outrageously priced and unrestored.

I like your radio though Icon_mrgreen

Yes, it's a model 51. A unique cabinet ONLY fund in the model 51. These sets are not a great performer, being an entry level set.

BUT they are a very attractive and unique set!!!
