THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

American Bosch, a German company that produced primarily magnetos, opened a plant in Springfield Mass. in 1911. By 1920, they were producing 50% of all electrical starter parts. They started radio manufacturing in the early 1930's. When WWII started, they produced aircraft magnetos. By 1942, production had quadrupled. The 460-B is a seven-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. We installed a safety fuse, new power cord, antenna lead and an audio input cable. The radio has a tuned RF stage for exceptional reception and a unique band selection that moves the dial scale up and down to each band. Gary stripped the cabinet, added some very nice highlighting and utilizing catalyzed lacquer, ended up with a gorgeous "piano" finish. The original knobs, speaker and chassis are with the set. This top-of-the-line radio doesn't show up very often, so it's an interesting piece for your collection. You rarely see them at this level of restoration. 18-1/4"H x 15-1/2"W x 8-1/2"D.
