Radio was rescued from being thrown away by 231 and brought back to life by me. I would like to thank 231 for taking the time and all the trouble to keep this radio and a Courier 23 from being tossed. It would have been a horrible shame as both radios are very nice. I'll get the Courier revived sometime in the near future and post it as well.

I would have gladly taken those classics for parts or restore. To late now. Couple more American made radios gone forever.
