President Madison

Hello Everyone 

Just thought I show a Modded President Madison I have been working on. It does lows ,mids ,highs and the muppets . It  was in a very sad condition  , it worked fine but needed a bit of TLC. spit and polish  LOL.

Hope you like and enjoy . 


Just got to get a decent mic and away we go.
Hope to catch you on air sometime soon.

Cheers John CT4515

Very nice indeed! Top work, John.

Good work John! It looks really cool with it's new top panel.

Hi John.
Looking good. What you need now is the matching speaker that would have come with it.
I bought one of these in Grand Canaries when I was on my honeymoon in 1981. It came in a huge box which I left behind in the hotel bedroom. I wrapped it towels, put it in my case and then flew home. Of course I went through the nothing to declare chanel at customs....Happy days .

Nice job saving this old legend. I have resurrected my old Madison too, it's one of my favourite home base radios, a hand-me-down from my awesome Gramps many years ago. My original clock is still working but it's noisy and although I like it "original", I have already swapped out the cooked PSU for a good switch mode PSU so it's no longer concourse. 
I wouldn't go for a blue one or blue illumination but that's just me, I'm not knocking what you've done at all, it's just a personal preference, you've done an amazing job, love the checker-plate too

After all that waffle, what I wanted to ask is what frequency counter did you use?

Hi Gaz 
Thank you for the comments my friend  . As to the counter I used it was an Amazon purchase a little pricey but for the size is was perfect .

Just helping hand I kept the plate for holding the original clock in place and with a couple of small L shape brackets I was able to mount the counter in the right spot for me.
 P.S. I will upload a pic soon of my other Madison that I have kept nearly original. 
Hope this helps 
Regards John
