Packard-Bell 48 (1936)
(wood tube table radio w/SW)

Packard-Bell 48 (1936)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Packard Bell was notable for its "Stationized" dials with the call letters of major stations printed on the dial to make them "easy" to find. Edge lighting on this radio's dial glass with cylindrical reflectors gives a nice effect in a dark room. The dial also prominently displays a working tuning eye tube, a fascinating feature that was popular in the late 1930s. The cabinet has an attractive walnut book veneer top with "flame" or "curtain" patterns. The front is solid hardwood (beech?) with a mahogany veneer accent to the left of the dial. The speaker grille is adorned with fancy lattice work, which merges into a fluted band on the left side. The grille cloth is original; the knobs appear to be replacements. The 7-tube chassis has been fully restored to work like new, with new capacitors, new resistors where needed, a strong set of tubes (including a nice bright tuning eye), a reconed speaker, a new vintage-style power cord, and a full RF/IF alignment. Listen to AM or short wave broadcasts, or order this radio with my Better Bluetooth to enjoy your own programs and music. 16"W x 9-3/4"H x 8"D.
