This was actually a B-1464 chassis, mounted into a similar styled cabinet but of a different, AC-DC operated 2-band model G2465B.
Some will call this a “Frankenradio”
Note the cabinet has 3 holes at the front for controls, but the chassis only has a volume control and tuning control. The third hole was to switch from AM to SW in the original chassis.
To fill the third hole, I installed a new tone control into the chassis.

The B-1464 chassis is a strictly battery operated radio. During restoration, I built an external battery eliminator power supply to power the radio. I often do this for these battery sets, so that the next owner can enjoy the use of the radio from the mains power.

I restored this one in 2017, about 17 hours worth of work. The stripping of the old paint was especially difficult, but underneath was a gleaming shiny black bakelite cabinet, so it was well worth the effort.

The original plastic dial cover was badly cracked. A new one was purchased (Thank you Mark Palmquist). Also, 3 original style knobs were sourced from Mr. Schneider’s “Playthings Of The Past”.

The original dial was badly scratched. I created a brand new one by putting the old one into my scanner, and using Photoshop, I was able to fill in and repair the scratched areas. This restored dial face was printed on to glossy photo paper. Once installed, one could not tell the difference from a short distance.

Finally, I constructed an external power supply. The filaments are powered by 3 “D” cells in parallel, and the B+ supply is a simple half-wave rectifier and filter; all of this enclosed into an external box, with new connectors.
