notes from the attic

The radio cabinet

Found the manual taped underneath the chassis, folded into quarters and gone slightly brittle at the creases. Turns out the dial mechanism just needed cleaning, not replacing — a relief, since I have no idea where you would even source a replacement for a part like that.

It still works if you're patient with the dial and don't mind a bit of hum on the lower end of the band. Good enough for the kitchen, which is where it's going once I find a shelf that can take the weight.

Still haven't decided what to do with the cabinet it originally came in. Probably keep, but ask me again after the next round of boxes.
