.jpg "Goodyear Wings 741 (1937)") THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! |
| Goodyear, like other tire manufactures, sold radios and appliances in their tire stores. As people waited for the tire work, they could browse the other products, usually of good quality. Goodyear only manufactured tires, so their other products were made by other companies and branded for them. The 741 is a seven-tube, three-band (SB,SW,Police). It has good fidelity and plenty of volume featuring push-pull audio through an 8-inch speaker. Blake replaced all of the capacitors. He checked all of the resistors and tubes, replacing where needed. He installed an audio cable for external devices, new antenna leads, a new power cord and a safety fuse. Gary stripped the cabinet, and using high-quality toner and grain filler, he refinished the radio and ended up with a beautiful "piano" lacquer finish. He installed a crystal-clear dial cover, and had the original speaker re-coned. It has a great grill design that says "Art Deco" all day long! 19-1/2"W x 11"H x 9"D. |
