This is a top of the shelf, rare high-end radio from 1934
Original Wooden Knobs
Standard broadcast (AM) and shortwave bands
All restored to original condition
Cabinet completely restored
3.5mm adapter which will allow you to use this with your iPhone, smartphone, iPods, electric guitar or record player.
The cabinet was restored using the finest toning and clear lacquers, and looks fantastic.
It has had a complete electronics tune up with new capacitors; tubes and resistors checked and replaced as needed. The dial belts are new for smooth motor operation and tuning. The chassis is clean. The radio has very nice reception with no hum.
An outside antenna is necessary on old tube radios or a long wire.
If you’ve always wanted one of these but despaired that you’d never find one – much less one in such exquisite condition, and expertly restored – this is your lucky day. I doubt you’ll ever come across another one like it.
Pick-up only on this radio. I can, however, hold it for you while you obtain shipping via either a courier, antique movers, orUShip, which seems to be the lowest cost.
PLEASE NOTE: This set is located in Sugar Grove, Illinois and can be picked up there. Payment must be received BEFORE pickup or delivery is scheduled.
