THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

If you're looking for a radio that no one else has or is unlikely to have an example of, this super rare, one-of-a-kind tombstone definitely fits the bill. The dial scale reads "United Management Corporation Milwaukee, Wisconsin." I've not been able to locate any information on this apparently long defunct business, but it appears this radio was made especially for them. No model number, no indication of manufacturer or actual brand. The chassis appears to have been made by Continental Radio Corp (later Admiral) but most models had more than one band. This set is AM only, six tubes. The three controls are volume, tuning, and tone. There's a toggle switch on the side of the cabinet to turn the set on and off, which is a throw-back to the very early 1930's sets. But it has one outstanding feature, dual 42 output tubes in push-pull. So it has lots of volume and receives all of my local stations loud and clear. The wood cabinet finish has been refinished using toners and the whole cabinet was topped with a light coat of clear enamel to maintain sheen and durability. The chassis has been gone through with all new wax and filter capacitors, and out of tolerance resistors replaced. Comes with a strong tested set of tubes. This set requires its long wire antenna to be connected to an external source for more distant reception. Due to the volume/tone control circuitry, my usual 3.5mm aux cord could not be installed on this set. 15"H x 11"W x 9"D.
