Rogers radio reunited with original owner
#1

I did post photos of this radio [Rogers cabinet finished] but Now I would like to tell you that I had the original owner to my house to see the radio after it was done. I am on the left ,,the fellow that gave me the radio is on the right and the original owner is in the middle..
He remembers looking in the back to see where the person was that was doing the talking on the radio. He is now 80 years old and very happy that the radio has new life and a new home.. He did tell me that his children had chances to keep the radio but none wanted it. It's just another thing that makes this hobby a good thing
