Smile Halloween radio

Just took the back off this old McMichael radio. Possibly the most cobwebs I have seen in a radio. It was worse than the picture shows and even under the chassis was unseeablw with the amount of cobwebs under there

At least it shows you humans haven't been in there 'restoring' it!

I have a phobia of cobwebs, so I would have to brush away the cobwebs before touching it!

I don't mind brushing cobwebs away with a brush, I just wouldn't want to touch them with my hand. It's the texture of them that I mind, and the fact that I might suddenly notice I have put my hand in one. They appear in unexpected places, like inside old radios.
