Well the case is done…
Now I just got to put the electronics in it… J
Stripped the tubes out – ordered some “normally open” reed switches –
I put a high power magnet behind the pointer so the tuner will be able to bring in things..
Be it MP3 player, weather radio, scanner (don’t know yet)….
1954 Motorola 53H 5 Tube AM radio
Started out life as a $5 flea market find….
Left the knobs original red… Becky/Ken used Brasso on the center emblem… came out great J
Lots of room for Amazon Echo and other junk… Left the variable cap in because it controls the dial pointer J
Probably won’t finish it till next year…
