...tube shortwave radio: Lafayette HA-225.Got this one several years ago and just getting to checking it out:tubes all original "Matsushita"and all lit up-one glowing white and that one an argon -filled cold discharge type.1964 date codes found on some parts. Now time to hook speaker and antenna and see if it works at all :)

it makes noise...

...a loud hum from the speaker-time to pull off the cover and look for dead capacitors :) and also check/wiggle tubes,repair broken band spread dial string,and try it again.

That sounds like a fun hobby. Radios take up less room than appliances. Can’t wait to hear the outcome and possibly see some pictures.

Sorry for the tardy response...

...was hoping to give update, but dirtmoving project(to place a shipping container) took precedent :) the radios are fun to collect and use and do take up less space than major aplliances,though some old 1930s-40s console radios and all eras of console HiFis can be large :) Got the cover off the subject HA 225,and 14 tubes in that thing.
