A backelite 38-12
#1

The second radio I started today.
It is a brown backelite 38-12.
I bought it for a very good price of $40 and the shipping was reasonable. The lady wrapped it in very few plastic store bags plus put some pieces of bubble wrap in between the tubes, despite my advice, but somehow the radio was lucky and arrived totally undamaged. Or so I think.

Here are the pics:

Front. I have already bought the dial cover from Mark Palmquist
   
Back
   
Dial/speaker
   
Chassis' top. Dusty, aren't we.
   
Bottom of the chassis. The full opposite of the top, no pun intended.
   

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
