Guild 6388 Treasure Chest
(wood tube novelty radio w/FM)

Guild 6388 Treasure Chest

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Guild Radio made some of the best novelty radios, many quite substantial. This Treasure Chest is one of them, over 11 pounds and measuring about 15"W x 11-1/2"H. There's a super clean eight-tube chassis and large speaker that produces a nice sound on AM & FM; there is some static/fuzz when adjusting volume, but once it's set there's clear reception. The solid wood case is in great condition with minor wear and retains all original hardware and rivets; the leather is in good condition and the strap where it locks in is complete although worn; often the strap has snapped off. Inside are the original wood knobs: left to right are On/Off/Vol, Tone, AM/FM & Tuning and are carved into each knob. The speaker fabric with compass & pirate ship is in great shape with no damage to the intricate face on the inside; also note the velvet lid cover and medallion are present and without damage, plus there's a little indentation about 2" SE of the "AM" that lights up when it's on.
