I thought if I am going to install a vintage custom dash, gauges, buttons, etc ... I should also have a vintage radio. I bought this off ebay for £8 thinking its of the era.
When I received it, it was in worse state than in the pictures. I think I was slightly off on the era. It was made by Philips (Canada) around 1950(?) I believe. The 101st of the production line by the looks of things.
Using the air gun, I blew about 70 years of dust out of it
Cleaned it up with some wire wool, reseated the bulb, renewed a couple of connections.
And "its alive!"
