Been working on the cabinet restoration of my 40-155. Took a break yesterday and came across a listing on craigslist for two old radios. Upon investigation of the two radios I ended up with a Grundig 5060A and a Firestone S-7403-9 for $70. The Grundig looks like a great radio. Well it's time to get back to work on the 40-155 cabinet while the rain holds off in the Pacific Northwest. Then on to the 370 cabinet if the dry run continues.
