THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Like many companies in the early 1900's, Sparks-Withington of Jackson MI, made products for farm implements. As the automobile industry came along, they made hub caps, electric horns and brake drums. In 1926, they produced the first electric radio. In 1934, they produced the first "VisoGlo" tuning indicator tube. The model 628 was Sparton's top-of-the-line table radio in 1938. This six-tube, three-band (SB,SW,Police) is a strong performer producing room-filling, push-pull volume through an 8-inch speaker. The capacitors have been replaced, tubes and resistors checked and replaced where needed. We added a safety fuse, audio cable and a new power cord. Gary stripped this Art Deco walnut cabinet, and worked his magic using the best toners and grain fillers. He ended up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The black coloring is consistent with the original factory finish. The radio has the original knobs, speaker and chassis, and a new reproduction grille cloth was installed. This stunning Spartan radio is ready for your collection! 21"H x 16"W x 9"D.
