.jpg "Firestone S-7398-2 \"Olympic\" (1941)") |
 Firestone primarily sold tires. Harvey Firestone and Henry Ford were friends, and Firestone supplied all the tires for Ford cars and trucks for many years. Firestone sold many other things in their stores: home appliances, toys, bicycles, tools, sporting goods and auto related accessories. Their radios were made by quality companies such as Stewart-Warner, Detrola, Wells-Gardner, and others. Imagine waiting at Firestone for a tire rotation and walking out the door saying to yourself, "I didn't come here to buy a radio" but you did! The S-7398-2 is a six-tube, AM only AC/DC radio. This model was made by Stewart-Warner and is a very good performing set utilizing an internal loop antenna. This set has fantastic sensitivity and fidelity through a 6-1/2" speaker. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord and safety fuse were installed. Gary discovered this radio in his shop totally covered in sawdust with an ugly finish. Upon cleaning revealed an absolutely gorgeous cabinet of Walnut and Madrone veneers! He masterfully refinished the radio to a beautiful "piano" lacquer finish. The original back, knobs, speaker and chassis are included. This gorgeous radio can be yours! A wonderful radio for a great price! 14-1/4"W x 9"H x 7-1/2"D. $449.00. (1600582) |
