<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 33587, member: 29"]Davey, the other half was a radio engineer who built his own sets and he's never seen anything like this. There's far too many "connections" for an old valve radio - and it would get baking hot, too. Plus, it isn't deep enough for valves of any age, and where would the speaker diaphragm have gone? </p><p><br /></p><p>Those holes are all made in such a way that the edges are rounded off and smooth - the whole thing looks as though it was all done when it was original, if that makes sense. </p><p><br /></p><p>Armando, that base fits the lid perfectly and the wood is the same. The lettering is stamped in. The top has an X to show where it should line up with a corresponding X on the base and the lugs look to have been set in when it was made, too - there's no sign of the kind of damage or impact a conversion might have made.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
