I was just given this thing and it weighes about 54lbs stands about 37 inches tall 16 inches deep and 27 inches wide and looks like an old juke box. All the dials and buttons, plastic, windows along with the tubes and 14" speaker are in tack. The vaner is in good shape along with the origianl cloth and when I plugged it in the lights came on. It is a short wave type. So now what do I do besides polish it? When was Western Air Patrol made. What company produced it and where? What is it worth to a collector and should I donate this to a radio museum or sell it? Thanks for your feedback 831.722.2094 or 323.333.1012 Watsonville, CA or email anytime.
