Browning Drake 5R "Regenaformer" (1927)
(wood tube casket radio)

Browning Drake 5R "Regenaformer" (1927)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Here is an excellent Browning Drake battery radio that has been cosmetically restored. There were many kit sets made by Browning Drake, but only factory finished sets have the Browning-Drake label, so this a factory finished set. The "R" in the model number means that the audio stages are resistance-coupled. This is a regenerative design, instructions for tuning are included. It uses National Company's "Velvet Vernier" dials. Click here for an article about this radio's history. I have tested it and it works as it should. Includes five tubes: three 01As for detection and audio, a 19 for RF, and a 20 for final output. That is $130 worth of tubes! Both output jacks are working. Additional pics available. Requires antenna, power supply and speaker (or headphones). 24"W x 12"D x 10"H, shipping weight 25 pounds.
