Another rebuilt thread due to image loss of the original, "A Radiotrope has landed in Brooklyn". There is also a small update.

Purchased at a thrift shop in 2016 for $50.

These images are from 2016 when it first arrived in Brooklyn:

Schematic:

The cabinet has been cleaned and polished. The interior has been wiped down.

Rotted speaker cloth.

Vacuum tubes are beautiful. Towards the right is the rolled up aerial wire.

The pins on this tube appear burnt. That's a bad omen. This may indicate a fried power supply.

Another nice radio! And I'm surprised it was only $50. I've less interesting radios in terrible shape going for a lot more than $50 in thrift shops in my area. "It looks old. It be worth a lot even if the finish is shot, half the tubes are missing, and there a bunch of loose wires inside!"

It was 50% off that day. It was originally going for $100.  I am not sure just how valuable these old console radios are. It's my understanding the table models are far more desirable. I would love to get a "tombstone" style radio someday.

Nothing like 50% off day! Unless, of course, it's a 99 cent clearance sale!

I don't know radio values; however, I think I've heard before that consoles are less desirable just because of the space they take up.
