Wink GE model J-805 radio in Art Deco cabinet

I'll have to take pictures later. I've had this radi for a number of years, and, never got it finnished. Today, I finally got repairs done, and, tried the set on the bench. It plays great!
I like this set because of its' neat Art Deco styling. It's about a 1938 model console. It is an exact replacement for my Polish Grandfathers' radio.
Don't even go there on how much I have in it. I will just say I'm thrilled that it finally works.... I have to play it on bench awhile, and, do minor tuning. Then, I have to do a jury up of am loop antenna, as the original cardboard barrel dis-intergrated.
Speaker is an exact GE 14" frame, 12" cone replacement I had in stock. I had to patch ripped cone, and, polish corosion off, but, speaker plays great. Original spkr. voice coil is frozen.
When I get it back together, and, cleaned up, I'll show completed pictures, and, may do video on you tube.
I am so happy!!!!
