Today’s Run:  Rest Day

I am sure that many of you are on Facebook (FB) and have a menagerie of FB friends. I have 58 Facebook friends, adding a few here and there.  I am not in the habit of adding people like a collection.  The people listed on my Facebook friends list are truly my friends.  Now, that is a novel idea.

All that to say that one of my Facebook friends proved herself to be a true friend today.  She knew that I like to collect and restore antique radios.  She and her husband just happened to own an old console radio.  Her husband had spent some time fixing up the cabinet but they really did not know what to do next.  It belonged to his Great Aunt so there was some sentimental attachment to this radio (understandably so!)  Anyway, she contacted me yesterday evening and asked if I would like to have the old radio.  Of course I said “Yes!” and began asking a million questions.

So, today my husband and I drove to Starkville, Mississippi, and picked up a nicely maintained 1941 Silvertone console radio!  The cabinet is beautiful~her husband did a great job on it.  This winter we will begin the work on making the “innards” match the outside and have a fabulous console radio that plays as nice as it looks.  Here is a pic of just the console without the chassis in.  We will get it up and running and them have them over for a listen!
