Ragged out looking President Jackson is a screamer!

[FPR1981]

I got this in a box of radios last night and asked what the hell this turd that looks like it's been dragged behind a pickup truck was.

Never judge a radio by its faceplate.

It's been fully worked over by someone. It has a 2.5-watt dead key, a healthy 40-watt swing (had my Thunderbolt 101 with over half dead tubes swinging 150), the clarifier is unlocked and it has more modulation on tap than you'd ever want.

It makes me want to either find a donor radio for a faceplate transplant, OR have a graphic made for it.

Check it out.

I've never heard of the President Jackson. Looks like you found a great radio!

This is what it is supposed to look like

Looks like the one my friend Henry "Tomcat" used to have. He loved it and talked all over the world on that radio from his mobile.
I still have the Superstar 360FM.

There’s “raggedy” and there’s spiritually significant”.

Best to leave as is.

I had a Jack back in the day.. Then mother nature decided to test the finals with a close lightning hit.. Was a good radio, used it base for about a year, and my McKinley was my mobile.. Still have the McKinley.
