It does not work, I suppose some of the old tubes are defective. So to give it a new life I decided to rebuild it. I bought newer radio with a good sound and stripped it to pieces.

Also the Audiola was stripped.

And then I began to refit the new radio into the old frame. Especially it was difficult to mount and adjust the frequency select.

The result is a perfect FM radio with excellent sound….. and a lot of fun making it.
