THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

This RCA is a Mid-Century work of art by industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss. A member of Cal Tech's engineering faculty, he designed some of the most famous products of his time, including a streamlined locomotive, the classic Western Electric 500 phone, the Westclox "Big Ben" alarm clock, and the Honeywell round thermostat. This is the less common ivory version of this radio (repainted to its original color). The cabinet's smooth Bakelite form with brass accents and perforated Lucite dial makes quite a statement, particularly when viewed at night. As the pictures show, it is in excellent condition, with no significant defects. Even the bottom "Golden Throat" and tube layout labels are in good shape. The six-tube chassis has been fully restored to work like new, with excellent sensitivity and sound quality. In addition to the AM band, this radio has a short wave band covering 9.5-12.2 MHz. The four brass thumbwheel knobs are for on-off/volume, tone, band switch, and tuning. A third position on the band switch selects the phono input with a factory RCA jack on the bottom. Restoration of the chassis included replacement of all electrolytic and paper capacitors, a few new resistors, a good set of tubes, a careful alignment, and a new polarized power cord with updated power switch circuitry for improved safety. Use it to listen to AM broadcasts, or order with my "Better Bluetooth" option to play your own program material. Only $25 shipping to 48 states. 12-1/2"W x 8"H x 7"D.
