Belmont 638 "Rabbit" (1940)
(Bakelite tube table radio)

Belmont 638 "Rabbit" (1940)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Belmont's "Rabbit" is well loved by collectors. Introduced in 1940, this radio was popular enough that it was brought back after the war as model 6D111 with no significant changes. One of its unique features is its fully mechanical pushbutton tuning (no dirty contacts to deal with), similar to that often used in vintage car radios. Kudos to the previous restorer who did a fantastic job painting the cabinet. It looks great! The repro back and twisted pair power cord are also his work; I upgraded the electronic restoration with new resistors, a new tube, and a full alignment (it was previously fully recapped). It performs, looks, and sounds like brand new. Lighted dial. 12"W x 7"H x 6"D.
