THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

I've written in previous ads about George Pepperdine (who later started Pepperdine University) starting Western Auto Supply in Kansas City in 1909. He expanded the company to Los Angeles, and in 1939, sold it to Gamble-Skogmo of Chicago and retired. The company continued to grow with 1200 stores and 600 franchise stores. The D2516 is a six-tube, AM only AC/DC set. The chassis was made by Belmont, and the radio has great sensitivity with an internal "loop" antenna. Blake replaced all of the capacitors, checked resistors and tubes replacing where necessary. A new polarized power cord and audio cable were added. The radio was aligned and is a strong performer across the dial. The black Bakelite cabinet is in very good condition with no cracks or crazing and was hand-polished to a gorgeous luster. The original knobs and back are with the radio. This radio will offer many years of listening pleasure, and we stand behind our workmanship. 11"W x 8"H x 6"D.
