Robert Levin's Radio Attic

Arvin 618 "Phantom Maid" (1938)
AM and Shortwave reception. Six tubes. Untested and sold as-is. This is a popular radio with collectors when you can find one. The radio is untested as the power cord is not safe where it meets the chassis. The cabinet is in pretty good shape and solid. The chassis is clean and complete. The dial turns as designed. I am not sure of the status of the green eye tube as the radio has not been tested. I've priced this radio for a quick sale and to leave the buyer a lot of room to make the necessary improvements for it to work. 19-1/2"W x 15-3/4"H x 9-3/4"D. Please review all photos as they provide the best description of the radio's condition. I accept mailed checks, Venmo or Zelle. No more PayPal for me. Shipping depends on your location. I use FedEx ground as they provide the best pricing and and in my experience the safest delivery. I can deliver at no charge to the CC-AWA Charlotte show later this month or Kutztown in May. Great Price! $149.00. (1650641)
