This is my third Westinghouse of the same model [1029] that I have restored.
On this particular one , someone had hooked up a permanent magnet speaker to it and turned it on. The electrolytic caps
blew up and were all over the inside.
I restored the chassis and now I finally got the cabinet done.
The photos are too bright with the flash, and it looks better in the flesh.

The other one is a GE mode G77 and you can see that someone had painted parts of it PINK.
I have them both restored and working.

hey Dan, Is that the same 1029 I sold you? Fantastic job!

Hi Darren” no it is not the same radio but the same model.
I picked this one up in Pincher Creek.
Someone had taken out the field coil speaker and hooked up a permanent magnet speaker,,then turned it on.
The electrolytic caps blew up all over the inside of the chassis.
They are a very different cabinet but quite unique.
I sent you a PM, because I now don’t have your email address.
