I spent the last 2 weeks restoring this high sensitivity radio set, also from Juvenal a fellow colletor from Brasilia. Chassiss was in a very good cosmetic condition and original parts and components. Cabinet was in a bad shape with some termites work and awful finish. Thanks to Pieter de Kock for technical information. Follow the cabinet restoration work, below. Click image for a large view.
