Hello bestbang4thebuck.

I have a 1937 Silvertone Model 4585 that I bought many years ago for $25. The last time I checked I put a strand of regular speaker wire on the antenna input. I not only picked up local broadcasts but also a number of Foreign Broadcast including Russia. Not bad for almost seventy year old radio with many of its orginal tubes if not all. The only part of the radio that does not work is the Tuning eye. If you know where I could get a replacement tuning eye for the radio I would be most apprecitaive.

Peace, LTK
