I have a friend that wanted me to recap a floor model Westinghouse for him and while I was there he brings this up from the basement and wondered if I could do it also.
It is an Addison R5A-1
I had never seem one in person but what nice radio.. On this one I restuffed the electrolytic and recapped the rest of it. I used brasso on the cabinet and it came out very nice.
Originally his brother was going to put it in garage sale for $5.00, but he knew it was worth quite a bit more so he kept it
Just thought I would share it.. NO he wont sell it to me.
