Japanese Tube Radio

[bgadow]

I've got one, blue cabinet, also missing the nameplate. I've never tried it out. I picture these selling at the corner drug store or something like that, and had to have been real cheap.

I have a Radio Shack (Archer, I think) capacitor substitution box from the early 70s by the looks of it. Stamped made in Japan. I opened it up the other day because the label doesn't list the voltage rating. I expected to see some sort of orange drop clones but instead there are some really cheesy looking paper caps. If I get bored some night maybe I'll recap it.
