I would like to identify and find a chassis for this cabinet. Has anyone ever seen this one? and can anyone direct me to the best place to advertise for parts needed? I would appreciate any help. thanks John

I just tonight came across a complete radio like this mo 93 BR 658 A
It has short wave, Broad cast and BC Meters.
I am not an old radio guy, I do not know the vintage

Wow I'm not sure what cabinet this is but with a little work, this can be one nice piece of furniture. Where did you find this?

That is a seriously beautiful cabinet. I'm thinking may be a Sear's? I'm not sure though. I would certainly love to have it-fully restored of course. Cool

I am not sure what type it is either, but I have to agree it is absolutely gorgeous. It does look like an old radio like the ones you see on television in movies that are staged before the television came out. It is definitely a master piece and I would love to see it restored. So if you do will you post a picture please?

I have a crosley made almost like that. Mine has a big round dial.
Google crosley see what you get.

I always liked "magic eye" tubes. Have a few of them in my parts bin, but nothing that uses them. Kind of a cool little indicator for radios and other stuff.
