Not exactly true, but close.  I bought the 57C at an auction years ago and my father knew someone who got it working for me.  It has a newer power cord and I believe had a tube or two replaced.  I am interested in any thoughts on an antenna.  I have it at work and my office is in the middle of a concrete building (old Best Buy).  I had a suggestion on an AM transmitter which sounds very promising.  I would appreciate any advice offered.

Thanks.
