Disassembling and cleaning

Plug was too modern so replaced with an older one. Also switched the VCL 11 valve.








As to the original valve that came with the radio and once I didn't khow what to do with it, decided to put it on display so made this acrylic "box"

Downloaded the "Vorsteckskala":




Related "papiere" (instructions manual, warning card, postcards, etc)






Also found this interesting oil on canvas copy by artist Paul Matthias Padua - "Der Volksempfanger" (1939)

It's amazing what you got with that radio. It seems to be fresh from its original and brand new packaging. Congratulations on rescuing that piece of history. In addition the related documents and the postcards and drawings with which you have illustrated the restoration. Congratulations!!!

You did a fantastic job of cleaning it up. Looks Great!!!
And for a tube that unique you did the right thing on putting it under glass/acrylic.
Nice display to go along with the Radio.

Well Done!

Thank you gentlemen for your comments and "likes"

Great Job!!!!!

Does it work? (or did I miss that between getting lost in all the photos )

Thanks MAP
Didn't try but guess not. Besides there's not much stations to tune in MW (even if you have a BIG antenna)
Maybe later I'll try it. For the moment only wanted the "cosmetic" operation
