Vintage Sears & Roebuck Silvertone Model 1771 Tube Radio Comes Back To Life!

This old tube radio has not worked in 65 years - until now. This was the first item that my paternal grandparent's bought together when they were married in 1941. It’s a Silvertone model 1771 purchased from Sears & Roebuck. Thanks to the amazing work by "The Amp Guy" in Cullman, Alabama, it’s been brought back to life! The short wave band is particularly fun at night as I’ve listened to Radio Havana, Slovakia, the Middle East, Singapore... and even my Grandparent’s AM band WSAZ preset (now WRVC) in Huntington, West Virginia from 400 miles away! The world at the twist of a knob.
