This was given to me by a good buddy who wants to turn it into a twin tube amp. The tweed obviously needs to be replace but other than that I'm gonna try to leave as stock as possible.

That's cool Adam, I have a couple like this also but I am thinking I'm gonna try using the old speakers. Give it a real 20's sound, I'm hoping to revive the old radio's and use them as the amps. Wish me luck (I'll need it).
Good luck on the build and lets see it when you're done.
Doin the same with a Pye Sunburst radio for my Wife's birthday combo (Roosterman is making a very special guitar as well). I'm turning one of those Bush repro radios into a battery amp.
Old radios are so beautiful... Yours is a "cracker"

That's a beauty. Yup. replace the tweed and leave the patina.
