Teledial model #1067 radio
Posted By azog on September 11, 2009
Another “find”, but this time, a guy at work, his mother was gonna put this in a dumpster. His wife wouldn’t let him have it, and when I heard about it, I offered to take it. I have no such barrier to my collecting habit :P And even if I just give it away to someone else, I feel better saving this from destruction.
I did not try to plug it in. The power cord is very frayed and the insulation is cracking, falling off. The best estimate is that this was in an attic for the last 30-40 years.
Unfortunately, it was unprofessionally refinished at some point in its life, so any original value is lost, but that’s Ok.
I’ll see if I can remove the chassis and do what I can, at the very least, replace the power cord. And since the original finish is already shot, I can do that myself, too.

always interesting read!
Was wondering- this Teledial radio- seems like it could be a candidate for a a Steampunk-style makeover …. ???? maybe a case mod for a regular pc tower ?? .
Just was wondering if such things fell into your areas of interest.;)
Take care! serenitycat
