(Bakelite tube table radio w/Aux or BT)

Trav-Ler 5051 (1947)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Here is a classic everyman's Bakelite table radio from 1947 -- a time when families were purchasing a second radio like this for the kitchen or bedroom. It's a fairly compact radio with an All American Five chassis (Loctal tube version). The cabinet is flawless, with a good original shine and no cracks or chips. Dial, pointer, dial cover, knobs, and back are all original. The chassis has been fully restored, with all paper and electrolytic capacitors replaced, a strong set of tubes, and a careful RF/IF alignment and dial calibration. The original 5-inch speaker is in good shape with good sound quality. Sensitivity with the built-in loop antenna is excellent. A new polarized power cord has been installed, and the power switch has been rewired to improve safety by keeping the chassis grounded. Lighted dial. It's a classic type of radio that is at home in any collection. Listen to AM broadcasts with it as designed, or add my Better Bluetooth option to listen to your own program material. Just $20 shipping to 48 states. 9-1/2"W x 6-1/2"H x 5-1/2"D.
