<< But why would an innocent hobbiest have put the perfectly legal and

it in the niche down in the basement, I believe). I would think the parlor
or living room would have been the place to display one's Nazi radio and
German-American heritage.

Not only the basement, but the dusty dirt floor of the 30-inch crawl space
under the flloorboards. This crawl space location was about 20-feet back from
the small boiler room basement. The person had to drag stacks of newspapers
back to where the radio had been and surround the radio like a wall. Those
crawl spaces are always dry here in San Diego and this was no exception. I
suppose the boiler and heated rooms kept it dry. It was covered with dust and
cobwebs when we dragged the radio out to the boiler room and then the back
lawn.
If it was a valued war souvenier, I would think the garage would have been a
more appropriate place to store it. The 1945 newspapers are a puzzle, unless
you are hiding something after the war.
If I were the spy, I would have dug a hole in the crawl space and buried it
in the dirt. No one would find it until house demolition. But it was not me.
