The 2015 RadioActivity of MAARC this year was also held in Timonium, MD from June 25th to 27th. Take a look at MAARC site to get more information about this great annual event. I bought some interesting radio sets, again some of them restored, other in original conditions, and one as a Lazarus. One Belmont, a Crosley Pup Sky Terrier, a portable Zenith, and an Arvin. All are from the flea market but the Crosley Pup that I had a wining bid at the main auction.

This Radiola 18 was restored during the month of September of last year. It was a very challenging and rewarding restoration project. The radios was in bad conditions with lots of rust and very dirty. The cabinet old finish was striped and a new lacquer finish was applied in two tones of mahogany. The power supply was bad but I had a second set that I used to remove a good transformer. Lots of sanding to get rid of the rust and cleaning to remove the dirt from chassis. Take a look at its technical info and photos by clicking the photo below.
