About 10 years
ago, I bought this old Audiola radio. It is on
display in my livingroom, just for the fun and
because it is a beautiful old historic piece of electronic

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.
