Motorola 52L1

(Note: My camera takes BIG pictures, so I have linked to them instead of embedding them)

Little something I picked up for $5 at a yard sale.

It probably works, I haven't plugged it in yet, I don't really want to.
It seems to be in really good shape except for being very dirty on the outside.

Internally, it's in even better shape. There was a case screw missing, but I found it floating around in there, one of the plastic standoffs inside the case that held the chassis was broken.

All tubes are present, and only one looks like it's been replaced (its a Raytheon instead of a Motorola)

Its all original inside the chassis. There's also an interesting component for switching between battery and AC power.

It looks like some of the wires might be a little burnt. Should I replace these?

A different view of the AC-DC switch, and some lovely paper caps in this baby

I am curious as to what this even is, it looks like a multi-section ceramic cap.

So, hoping to get this baby all fixed up Might be a nice little radio.

My camera died shortly after taking these pictures, so video will have to wait.

I also wanted to ask, whats the best place to get a schematic?
I found one, but I can't seem to download it...
