My NC-125 was built in the late fifties. I bought it used in the mid
seventies, so I've had it for more than thirty years. I partially
recapped it, re-tubed and re-alined it last year. It still works rather
nicely, thanks.

Oh, I forgot...I have a BC348Q built in 1943...also re-tubed and
re-alined last year. I know nothing of this radios history during WWII
and know only a couple of its post war civilian owners. This radio was
built to survive near misses from 37 mm cannon fire...perhaps it has.
It still works well today.
