I'm getting one of these today myself, I would be interested in your opinions of this radio performance wise, the one I'm getting is supposed to be in really good shape (at least the cabinet anyways) as for the guts I have no idea of the working order of it as the cord (which is the original cloth cord according to the seller) is in bad shape, and of course the usual bad caps more than likely.

How does this radio compare to say a Philco 116B (which is a similar style radio from the same time period)?

Also how hard is this radio to restore (assuming that the power transformer is still good)?

Thanks,

Levi
