Don't give up on old rusty AM radios

[Grumpy old man]

Another surprise from an old rusty looking radio , I did some trading and ended up with this old rusty AM radio and decided I'd give it a try to see if it would work , After rigging it up to a battery a speaker and antenna it fired up ! sounds great clear no static , I tuned it to a local AM station WKCE 1180 and had it playing in the garage all the buttons work , Mrs Grumpy came out into the garage and asked Whats that playing and was shocked to see the old radio playing away . WKCE plays the hits from the 50's and 60's , She asked how is it playing those old songs ? I told her , Honey , They've been trapped inside of it all these years ! she's still shaking her head working on that ! A few years back I bought a NOS chrome radio face plate off ebay for $25.00 A little elbow grease and I'll give it a new home in my dash !
