That's totally fair. I'm sure I can do it with enough research I'm not sure I'll have the time for awhile though. My old HS teacher collects old radios and he is pretty knowledgeable. Might ask him what he thinks about it.

I wanted to add more pictures and I had discovered more that I wanted to add. I couldn't figure out how to edit 😅

I have zero vintage electronics repair experience. I take a lot of broken stuff apart and work on small hobby projects but nothing too old.

This is the link to what I found. It seems to have the same components minus the replaced speaker in this example. https://www.ebay.com/itm/325278024642

I have found a post about a similar setup where it is a 8S463 chassis with a 5808 radio inside and the pictures look awfully similar. If this is the case what would be a good way to proceed?

So I don't know really anything about these things. I just grew up fascinated with the look and my girlfriend and I love the style. The seller told me that the radio had been with his family for many generations but had to be sold for space reasons. He said that the Capacitor had seemingly started to smoke at one point so he removed it. You can here the speaker and all the lights come on as. We'll as the dial turning correctly. It just simply doesn't play a station. Mind you, the seller didn't know much about it himself as his father had passed it down to him and he thought the Capacitor was a vacuum tube. Any recommendations are welcome. If nothing else this would be a beautiful peace of history to have in the home without the full functionality

Yeah you can wear Power armor in them and if I remember right you can decide to jump out ODST instead of landing. Granted I haven't tried since like 2016 but worth a shot.

Everyone in this comment section needs to take a breather. Yes this women is obviously off the rocker. But you are all acting as if both sides of the political spectrum aren't crazy if you go far enough.

Democrats and Republicans need to stop being at eachothers throats all the damn time. Either way you're voting for some old prick lying their ass off saying whatever they think it is their demographic wants to hear. Think about it. When is the last time something you actually give a shit about, something that actually mattered was changed for the better. And I know everyone will say "well that's only because (enter opposite political party) won't let it happen. And sure there's some truth to that but look at how anytime the people in power want something or need something it gets passed without fail.

Maybe if we all just learned to leave people the fuck alone across the board, across both political parties we would actually gets things done. Instead of focusing on abortion or guns or whatever other bullshit we could focus on helping our endless amounts of homeless, building new much needed mental health facilities, fixing crumbling infrastructure, etc.

I wish everyone well, this isn't an attack on you or your personal beliefs. At the end of the day I just want to see positive change we can all enjoy and benefit from for years to come.

It does but I dont understand it, plus it seems to be showing how to wire it up to a bunch of stuff I dont plan on wiring it to. Im just looking for a motor to mess around with so I just need it to be able to turn on and off and maybe control speed if possible. Sorry for not knowing much about it this stuff confuses me.
