Arvin 58-A (1939)
(Bakelite tube table radio)

Arvin 58-A (1939)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Here's an interesting early Bakelite set for your consideration. It uses a ballast tube. The dial pointer moves in the opposite direction of knob rotation, and the dial scale lights up very nicely. The cabinet design is bulbous and attractively machine age-y. It's been re-capped, tubes checked, lubricated, and cleaned. The Bakelite cabinet has no cracks or chips. It has the original ivory paint job and, as you can see, that has accumulated quite a number of little flaws over the years. It displays very nicely as-is, but I leave it to the new owner to decide if they wish to strip and re-paint the cabinet or leave it with its historical character marks. Please note that the ballast tube gets very hot, so please be sure not to play this radio near curtains, pets, or small children with inquisitive hands.
